Judge McGlynn is just Done
The Seventh Circuit court ignored the Supreme Court's ruling in Bruen and decided that Illinois did nothing wrong when they held their Bruen tantrum to bass PICA.
The case got dumped back in Judge McGlynn's lap. The plaintiffs filed motions for things to help The People.
Judge McGlynn denied them, but in writing that denial he took issue with the Seventh Circuit court. This is the same as publicly stating, "The boss told me to fill your home with concrete. I have to do it. They are wrong for all these reasons …".
But in the meantime, the state has continued their quest to deny Second Amendment protected rights to The People of Illinois.
On December 22, 2023, the state told the court: Our attorney is super-duper busy. She's scheduled herself out of the office from December 26 through January 9. And she's so busy, she has other cases with deadlines, there are three holidays, she just can't do it.
Yesterday, Judge McGlynn said, "NO. You WILL have the scheduled reply by the 19th of January."
From following these cases, I believe that the normal scheduling is about a month, with replies due 3 weeks after and responses do a week after the reply. It feels like Judge McGlynn is going to keep the state on a short leash.
