Thanks for posting that link. Surely Ginsburg and Sotomayor realize that the law was unconstitutional and are just trying to avoid an opinion stating that.
True. Also, if declared moot, it opens the possibility that other anti-factions as well as NY, can repeat the strategy of "pulling" new unconstitutional laws before they are actually declared unconstitutional.
Thus, the harassment of lawful gun owners can continue, one "new law" after another, using this ploy.
So I hope they decide to hear the case, even if it just comes out as a declaratory judgment.
