• Ninth circuit judge's VIDEO dissent opinion

    From Adam H. Kerman@21:1/5 to All on Mon Mar 24 20:43:59 2025
    I had no idea anybody did this. Clearly the judge is trying to persuade
    more than a few law students and reach the general public instead. What
    a politician!

    Judge Lawrence VanDyke was unimpressed with the majority opinion in Duncan v. Bonta written by his colleagues, and by appellate counsel for the state
    of California. No one is familiar with firearms! He's trying to make a
    point about whether a magazine is an accessory or integral to the
    operation of a weapon in a case in which there is consideration of the constitutionality of state laws that limit capacity of magazines. Is
    there any effective difference versus the automatic mechanism of a semiautomatic weapon?

    He demonstrates how guns operate. How did he get all those guns past the
    U.S. Marshals into his chambers in the federal courthouse?

    VanDyke was appointed by McConnell, er, Trump in 2020. American Bar
    Association rated him "not qualified".

    Really, dude?! You're going to quote ABA ratings, which don't rate
    anyone to the right of AOC as "qualified"?!!

    I didn't look at the ABA rating, just quoted the mention in the
    Wikipedia article. They hated his temperament.

    Since when are ABA ratings leftist? Bork was rated well qualified.

    Did you look at the video or are you just going to give me shit?

    Which is the ABA's go-to to blackball conservative judges...

    Since when are ABA ratings leftist? Bork was rated well qualified.

    *30 years ago*. The ABA of now is not the ABA of then.

    Did you look at the video or are you just going to give me shit?

    I'm going to give you sh*t for quoting the ABA, which is thoroughly
    discredited with right-of-center types. You might as well be quoting the
    Sierra Club, or something...

    Every Supreme Court nominee post Clarence Thomas has been rated "well qualified". Thomas was "qualified".

    That was 40 years ago, not 30 years ago.

    There you go again, you are claiming that 2025 is happening 35 years ago.
    See, there is a matter of time, not everything is happening at once.
