I'll be taking a vacation day and going to this as well. As a U.K. employee, I am VERY interested in how this case will come out.
I would like to attend this myself, can someone please inform me of where I need to go?
It is 11am.Thanks gutshot, I will see you all there..One more thing, I checked the website and not certain on this, does this begin at 11 a.m.?
When do they announce the decision?Thanks. I've been watching, too, but hadn't looked for several days. I'll be there for the oral arguments and decision.
There will not be a decision as such. The court will issue an opinion 4-6 weeks later.
I want them to take all the time they need to get it right. Remember, whatever we think is right, or want to be right, only stands until four SC justices say it isn't.Man the wheels of Justice do move slowly!
Michael Mitchell has been waiting since April of 2009
IIRC the Ky Supreme Court reverses approximately 80% of the cases it hears. So there was either something in the decision they didn't like, or there is a question on the laws the want to answer.Although obviously I haven't read every case that's went before the KSC, the ones I have, they have not disappointed with their rulings. Good sound logic. I suspect this will be no different.
I know that my family has an appeal that has been taken up by the KSC. Our attorney stated it was a positive(but not absolute) sign that they granted discretionary review as statistically they have reversed about 80% of cases they have reviewed. I just accepted that as a likely fact coming from an Attorney(granted they may not always be wise).I'd like to believe this, but would like to see some evidence. I went to the KSC website and looked through a few past cases and could not confirm your assertion. It seemed most decisions were affirmed. Granted, I only went back about 8 months and that's not enough on which to make any conclusions, but would like to know how/where you got this information and what its based on.
Here you go, a brief search for some related info:I'd like to believe this, but would like to see some evidence.

Justice Scott may be the most pro-gun Justice on the Supreme Court. He is reported to have a CCDW and carry under his robe while on the bench. If Mitchell doesn't get Justice Scott's vote, he may not get any. I wonder at the timing of this news article. It seems like a warning to Justice Scott. Oral arguements in the Mitchell case are in less than 3 weeks. Why does a Lex. TV station comment on a Supreme Court election this far in advance? UK is in Lex., isn't it?
Sometimes a news article is just a news article. I doubt that Justice Scott is overly concerned about The Lexington Herald anyhow, his district encompasses just about everything from Hazard to Morehead and Ashland to Pikeville. I'm sure that vast majority of his constituency supports the right to bear arms. I think your weakest support for the 2nd Amendment comes from areas like Lexington and Louisville, but even then I think a majority supports gun rights. I think this has a great chance to be reversed for a few reasons:Justice Scott may be the most pro-gun Justice on the Supreme Court.
