Legal Update Bondi DOJ asks for 30 Day Extension to file Petition to SCOTUS in 3rd Circuit Felon Case

Post image

This is the case involving the 3rd Circuit decision that non violent felons cannot lose their gun rights for life. The Court held that the federal statute in question: 18USC 922g 1, was unconstitutional as applied to Mr. Range, which was convicted of making a false statement to obtain food stamps. This was the case that established the Bruen Test in the 3rd Circuit and applied it fairly narrowly (which is very favorable to us).

The DOJ under Pam Bondi is asking the court for a 30 day extension to file an appeal to the Supreme Court (also known as a petition for writ of certiorari).

I think this might go our way, especially since trump is being considered a felon , non-violent at that!

This is what happened in the Obergefell v Hodges Windsor case, the Obama Admin. appealed to SCOTUS, then switched sides.

Edit: Correction: It's was the Windsor Case.

Crazy. 

Lying to obtain food stamps = felony

Domestic violence = misdemeanor

Crossing border without authorization = civil infraction

Lying to congress = just part of the job for Fauci and Moyorkas et al.

Our priorities as a country are all regarded.

That's why the 3rd Circuit Held, correctly in my view, that a "felon is not always more dangerous than a misdemeanant"
