Court Backs Down: SAF Membership List Protected

[John Kloehr]

I am following this case. Turning over a membership list is a chilling result and I am glad the judge reversed this. I am still concerned about a ruling which finds a law unconstitutional but the protection will still only apply to members of a plaintiff organization who were members at the time the suit was filed (years ago).

 

This case is about 18 year old adults being able to purchase firearms. At this point, it would still only fully cover those who were members when 13 years old. In another year, full protection would only apply to members who were 12 years old when the suit was filed. Another dozen years forward, there would be no protected members as they were not even born yet

 

This is fallout from earlier "defanging" of district court judges from issuing "universal" injunctions. For rulings affecting those not in a class and for rulings affecting those outside of a court's jurisdiction. There is already at least one case where there is a challenge to approving a class after summary judgement but before the order was published. This underlying issue will be back in many forms in the future, the case under discussion here is just one instance of strictly limiting a scope of judgement to the actual litigants.

This appears to be another example of a very limited response from the DEEP STATE 

 

it was their attempt to ID , those whom disagree with them 

 

 if you have a list ,nit is easier to round up those most likely to resist 

 

 It is past time to regain ALL of our rights , that have been stolen since 1934
