9th Circuit ends California ban on high-capacity magazines

And Gorsuch is trending as Roberts 2.0.

There will be an en banc rehearing by the 9th Circuit which will uphold the law...
If a majority of the 29 judges on the 9th Circuit vote to rehear the case it's essentially a do-over, with anywhere from 11 to all 29 judges getting to hear and decide the case.

Interesting.
Can you explain why the numbers don't make sense?

Why would only 11 be able to decide?

I can speculate, but I'm just a cook.

In other words, no one trusts Roberts.

Yup, Roberts is the wildcard and rather than risk it, they just keep kicking those cases down the schedule for committee. Everyone is waiting on Ginsberg to kick the bucket, no disrespect to that bag of bones.

Reader's Digest version: There are 29 judges on the 9th Circuit. But the 9th Circuit en banc panel is 11 judges. It's possible all judges might hear a case but it never (or very rarely) happens. 11 is considered the full en banc panel. And they're assigned cases randomly, I think. The 9th used to be a very liberal circuit but that's not the case any longer, thanks to Pres Trump. It's no longer automatic for the left to request their case (when they lose, like this instance) be heard by the full panel because it's likely more conservative judges might be assigned to the case than more liberal judges.

From what I last read of the makeup of the 9th Circuit, it still leans left, but not nearly as far as it used to.

Thanks for the info about the change in the makeup of the 9th circuit. I was being very pessimistic in my previous post. I'll happily eat crow if it doesn't go en banc.

So what I’ve gathered is the Constitution is Toilet Paper and whatever is “ruled” is based on a combo of bull and shit.

Cus precedent, case law, and fuck your grandkids’ chances of not being forced to accept x, y, and z.

So in other words, bike tires are the new zip gun.
