If they're fair judges, they'll strongly consider both sides, and ask questions that make each side very nervous. Yes, the law was written precisely to deal with people like Emerson, so the judges have to evaluate the issue from that view.
Sure, Emerson did make threats - we already have laws against that. A restraining order had been filed. Etc. There's still no sane reason why one's major rights can be elminated with zero fanfare boilerplate on the "she said" of a distraught spouse.
The law apparently violates:
- 2nd Amendment
- Due process
- Declaration of charges - and consequences
- Jury trial
- Prior notice
and probably enough other things to guarantee the law will be deemed invalid.
I'm not worried. The judges have to ask tough questions of both sides, and the gov't side's strongest argument is that Emerson must have read some fine print of debatable relevance on a generally unrelated form five years prior.
