I am sorry to inform you that SCOTUS denied certiorari in the case of Robinson v. Sessions. There is no per curiam. Our case is simply listed along with hundreds of others as "denied."
I have two immediate thoughts.
First, Justice Thomas must be worn out. To not even mount a written protest against his colleagues for their persistent failure to take up Second Amendment cases was telling.
Second, Justice Gorsuch is not going to even begin to fill Justice Scalia's shoes.
But more to the point are the analytics.
First, the WDNY opinion of Judge Geraci indicated that if I come forward with an alleged terrorist, he would consider the arguments. He would not, however, consider it as brought by American gun owners. The Second Circuit affirmed his decision and shared a similar opinion. Through its denial of cert, SCOTUS allows that to stand.
Second, we learned the truth about the FBI's covert spying on American gun owners. All material allegations were admitted. We know exactly where we stand. And, in failing to stand with us, left-liening groups like the ACLU fell backwards with us. Post-9/11, the ACLU and Amnesty International USA have done a great job of persistently lodging lawsuits against warrantless spying. In those cases, they have lost, again and again, and they have achieved few admissions. Robinson v. Sessions was the case where all illegal activity was freely admitted by the FBI, ATF, TSC, and U.S. Attorneys General. I cited much of their excellent work at all three levels of courts.
Our case exposes a judicial branch willing to expressly endorse executive branch spying that is admitted. Robinson v. Sessions is thus both a bigger win and a bigger loss than all predecessor post-9/11 cases.
Where are we?
Smack back into the 1940s.
If the federal judiciary is going to expressly endorse executive action that flies in the face of the black letter of the law, then it is going to get worse.
Personally, I would always rather see my enemy face-to-face. We flushed out an illegal program begun in 1998, which will continue, and which will continue to be illegal.
Now that we know this critical information, what is to be done?
There will be much to discuss, but I wanted to at least get a few words out to you with a huge THANK YOU! for all of your support during this three year journey.
