I can think of one recent example: District of Columbia v. Heller & McDonald v. Chicago. Lower courts have been generally unwilling to embrace 2nd amendment rights in light of those two decisions.
- dedward 15y agoThanks.... some very interesting reading (sorry if this post is breaking hn ettiquette)
- tokenadult 15y agoLower courts have been generally unwilling to embrace 2nd amendment rights in light of those two decisions. [citation needed] And, yes, I am a lawyer, and I am interested in what actual cases you had in mind as you made the statement in your comment.
- iamdave 15y agoHe gave you one in his post: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonald_v._Chicago http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McDonald_v._Chicago which points to related cases. Hope this helps!
- wtn 15y agoHe was asking for examples where lower courts ignored McDonald v. Chicago.
- iamdave 15y agoIn Ezell v. Chicago, decided July 6, 2011, the Seventh Circuit reversed a district court decision that the post-McDonald measures adopted by the City of Chicago were constitutional. It's in the wiki entry. Under related cases. As I previously stated.
