      Interesting case heading to the SCOTUS from Minnesota:
      http://www.reuters.com/article/us-us...KBN1DD1S8?il=0

      (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Monday to hear a conservative group’s free speech challenge to a Minnesota law prohibiting voters from wearing T-shirts or other apparel adorned with overtly political messages inside polling stations.

      A group called the Minnesota Voters Alliance is appealing a lower court’s decision to uphold the law, which forbids political badges, buttons or other insignia inside polling places during primary or general elections. State election officials have interpreted the law as also barring campaign literature and material from groups with political views such as the conservative Tea Party movement or the liberal MoveOn.org.

      Violators are asked to cover up or remove offending items, but officials are instructed not to actually bar anyone from voting.

          Agreed. Leave your sloganeering apparel at home on Election Day, please.

              Yes, I meant both sides, smartypants. I can't stand anyone who puts sloganeering bumperstickers on their car. It's basically a flashing advertisement for, "I am a lofo voter who doesn't use my brain."

                Eh, doesn't bother me. There is a circular lawn in front of my polling place and there were at least 100 signs on it last year for the election (obviously none inside).

                Ban any active campaigning for sure, but I don't really have an issue with clothing.

                      So it looks like the conservative wing of the SCOTUS has decided that they've seen enough mass murders over the past decade.

                          99 percent of all petitions for cert are denied. It's not crazy, it's normal.

                            It's totally crazy. It does however appear to affirm Heller and what many liberals think Heller means. Which is good. Too bad we have a horrible legislature at the Federal Level.

                              I'd love to read a SCOTUS reporter's analysis of whether this means anything. Cert can be denied for reasons that have nothing to do with the Court's stance on the merits. They might have filed in the wrong font or something.

                              Edit: five seconds of searching.

                              The Supreme Court issued orders from its November 21 conference today. The justices did not add any new cases to their merits docket for the term, but they did deny review in several high-profile cases.

                              Perhaps the most noteworthy denials came in two cases involving gun rights: Kolbe v. Hogan, a challenge to Maryland’s ban on semi-automatic rifles and large-capacity magazines, passed in the wake of the mass shooting at a Connecticut elementary school; and Norman v. Florida, a challenge to the state’s ban on the open carrying of guns in public. In both cases, the lower courts had upheld the states’ bans, so today’s rulings leave those decisions in place. Unlike last June, when Justices Clarence Thomas and Neil Gorsuch dissented from the court’s denial of review in Peruta v. California, in which the justices had been asked to decide whether the Second Amendment protects the right to carry a gun outside the home for self-defense, today’s denials were not accompanied by any public comments from the justices.
                              I would think that if this was substantive Court doctrine the wingnuts would likewise squeal. Somebody probably stapled the request wrong.
