Perhaps I’ve come off too harsh. I’m definitely no lawyer, and I would be very nervous presenting this to Supreme Court. Huge kudos for the man standing up like that and defending the rights of each of us here. If he wins, which I believe he will, we will all benefit along with future generations. He’s taken on a great burden, and I am thankful for that.

I’m going more for constructive criticism. Our postion is so strong that it almost seems to require a very strong presentation. My take on the situation could be wrong, but he seemed a little surprised by the line of questioning. I’m only trying to point out that these things, well, perhaps if any of us are in a similar situation, arguing for rights that we ought not need to argue for, that we should come prepared with overwhelming force as far as argumentation and refutation go.

It sounded like they were specifically trying to keep them on their toes with the questions which were very back and forth, almost off topic at times, like asking about machine guns and such.

I suspect had you been standing there, nerves would have taken over and as prepared as you may have been, on your first time up you’d have a tough time doing as well as Gura. Which is probably my biggest gripe. He seemed too nervous. And as I told Uncle on the phone, after answering a question, he would ramble on with additional irrelevant details rather than jumping right back to where he left off on his original oral presentation.

Not that I could do any better or anything. and Kudos to him for getting it up there.

Not that it mattered – the justices seemed to be mostly made up n their minds already.
