The last three episodes, we've gone through in detail much of Senior Judge Ishii's judgment and findings of fact in Silvester v. Harris (2014) at a California-based U.S. District Court (trial court).
Judge Ishii, a Democrat, found in favor of the Second Amendment against the State of California's then-attorney general, Kamala Harris.
The 9th Circuit on appeal then reversed that gain for the Second Amendment, without requiring evidence, without acknowledging the arguments for the Second Amendment, and without acknowledging the findings of fact ascertained by Judge Ishii in that case at trial.
Justice Clarence Thomas wrote from the US Supreme Court that he was appalled, when the application came up for review in 2018. And he says why in this episode of The Republican Professor podcast.
Recall, Justice Thomas was the author of the Court's opinion in NY Rifle & Pistol Assn v. Bruen (June, 2022). This is part of the background history for what he wrote there at that time.
