Perez v. United States (#SCOTUS, 21-6120): Biden administration responds to cert petition challenging gun ban for undocumented immigrants, says they “show a willingness to defy our law" and that "the right to keep and bear arms belongs to citizens." supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/21/2… ImageImageImageImage

Judge VanDyke, dissenting: "The majority of our court distrusts gun owners and thinks the Second Amendment is a vestigial organ of their living constitution."
"We don’t protect the free speech of the taciturn less than the loquacious. We don’t protect the free exercise of religion in proportion to how often people go to church. We wouldn’t even allow soldiers to be quartered only in those parts of your house you don’t use much."
"It’s now beyond obvious that you can’t expect our court to faithfully apply any Second Amendment test that allows us to exercise much discretion. Many fundamental rights are protected by more bright-line tests. It’s past time we bring that to the Second Amendment."

Fifth Circuit reaffirms stay of OSHA vaccine mandate, says the agency may "take no steps to implement or enforce the Mandate until further court order." dl.airtable.com/.attachments/d…
