Is there an amicus in the works from "various cities" that Sacramento can join? There certainly isn't one already filed they can join which makes me ask, where will this forthcoming one be filed? The deadline for filing amicus briefs with the Court was November 23rd. There was only one motion requesting permission to file late filed on the 23rd; that was from the "American Legislative Exchange Council." Doesn't sound like something "various" City Attorneys would name themselves . . . The Supreme Court docket listing all filings and motions is: http://origin.www.supremecourtus.gov/docket/08-1521.htm There are over 30 amicus filed in support of McDonald including one from 39 State's AG's (INCLUDING CALIFORNIA) and one from 58 US Senators and 251 US Representatives. There are -NO- amicus in support of Chicago. The Brady Campaign did not file in support of Chicago; their amicus was filed "in support of neither party" (but arguing against incorporation of course). The NAACP also filed "in support of neither party" and against incorporation which strikes me as quite peculiar . . . A Black civil rights organization arguing against enforcing the 14th Amendment as intended? Strange indeed what blind adherence to a political agenda will make you do . . . Oral argument before SCOTUS is scheduled for March 2, 2010. All the case filings can be read at: http://www.scotuswiki.com/index.php?title=McDonald_v._City_of_Chicago
