Title: .Gov pretty much steps on it in Henderson case.
Post by: vaskidmark on February 25, 2015, 07:29:37 PM

http://www.supremecourt.gov/oral_arg...-1487_4g25.pdf = transcript of oral arguments.

TL/DR version: guy convicted of a felony prevented from disposing of his firearms because of "constructive possession". .Gov attorney realizes the benefit of not wearing golf spikes when stumbling.

Cannot wait for the actual opinion to be published. Ought to be a doozy.

stay safe.

JUSTICE BREYER:  Where does all this come from?  I mean, to me, when somebody uses the word "constructive X," that just means it's not X and it's a way of pretending that it's X when it isn't.

Didn't expect that from Breyer.
