Videos tagged with Windsor Precedent

This video discusses the Department of Justice's request for an extension in the Brian Range v. Merrick Garland case, which challenges federal law 18 USC 922 G1 regarding felons possessing firearms. The speaker, Mark Smith, a constitutional attorney, analyzes potential reasons for the delay, including the confirmation of a new Solicitor General and the strategic implications of other pending cases. He advocates for the Trump administration to follow the 'Windsor precedent' by seeking certiorari, arguing that the DOJ should defend the enforcement of the law while simultaneously urging the Supreme Court to rule in favor of the defendant, thereby establishing a clear constitutional standard for non-violent felons.
