This video discusses a potential trend shift in US Supreme Court jurisprudence regarding interlocutory appeals, particularly in Second Amendment cases. Host Mark Smith, a constitutional attorney and Second Amendment advocate, analyzes three recent cases (Scurmati, Lisa Cook, and Wolford) where the Supreme Court has granted certiorari on cases that are still in preliminary stages, a departure from historical practice. The analysis suggests a growing willingness by the Court to address significant constitutional issues earlier in the legal process, potentially benefiting gun rights.

The Supreme Court has unanimously denied emergency review for concealed carry bans, impacting cases like Antonyuk in New York and Wolfford in Hawaii. While the Antonyuk case returns to the lower court for a merits decision, the Second Circuit's precedent that Bruin applies only to exceptional cases presents an uphill battle. A potential legislative solution, the National Concealed Carry Reciprocity Bill, is moving through the House.
