If I understand correctly, there is a suspect class/heightened scrutiny issue with the 9th Circuit. It may be that animus was discussed for the benefit of the 9th Circuit and was left in the second brief to save having to completely rework the material.Steven Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00181540076161181306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338103888113272518.post-79594856342482152472014-02-16T10:48:38.728-07:002014-02-16T10:48:38.728-07:00Thanks, Utahhiker801 and Jeffret, for reading the ...Thanks, Utahhiker801 and Jeffret, for reading the post and taking the time to comment.

Well, at least I read the first part and then skimmed when it became clear that there wasn't anything significant, new, or interesting.<br /><br />Your description is spot on. It's like they didn't even bother to read Shelby's ruling. Their brief is more an attempt to respond to what they imagine their critics are maligning them about than the issue before the 10th Circuit. It does read more like a PR position paper, but even at that it misses the mark.Jeffrethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05002140707452814547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338103888113272518.post-42431171227686763462014-02-16T08:36:32.606-07:002014-02-16T08:36:32.606-07:00Joseph, thanks for taking the time to break their ...Joseph, thanks for taking the time to break their brief down.
