🐕 15 Liter flüssiges #Amphetamin fand #Zollhund Lieschen Müller bei der Kontrolle eines Reisebusses auf der #A2. Versteckt in einer Reisetasche erschnüffelte sie 3 mit der Droge befüllte Kanister.
➡️ Festnahme. Weitere Ermittlungen durch #ZFAhannover
Twee ongevallen op de #A2 bij Eindhoven, vanuit Maastricht. Beide incidenten zijn gebeurd tussen knooppunten De Hogt en Batadorp. Houd rekening met vertraging en een dichte rijstrook. Je hebt nu een half uur extra reistijd.
The Hawaii Constitution has a provision that is the same as the 🔹Second Amendment🔹 to the U.S. Constitution.
[Hawaiian] Justice Eddins said: Even though the provisions are the same, we will not interpret them the same way, because we think the 🔸U.S. Supreme Court clearly got it wrong in Heller when it said the Second Amendment creates an individual right to bear arms.🔸
Justice Eddins then pored over the immense body of scholarship and historical research that has shown, beyond a reasonable doubt, that
👉SCOTUS was catastrophically wrong in Heller.
He even quoted this great study that refutes a centerpiece of Justice Antonin Scalia’s analysis in Heller, which was the idea that the phrase “bear arms” typically meant individual use of a weapon in 18th-century parlance.
Scholars have analyzed thousands of documents from that era and proved that Scalia was just objectively wrong:
The phrase “bear arms” was unfailingly used in a collective context, describing a militia—which makes sense, since the Second Amendment begins by saying its purpose is to protect the militia, not an individual right to own guns.
Then Eddins’ opinion goes on to analyze the real history of guns in Hawaii. And he says: “The history of the Hawaiian Islands does not include a society where armed people move about the community to possibly combat the deadly aims of others.”
This echoes the Pennsylvania Supreme Court’s discussion of Dobbs and real history—but also originalism, and who history leaves out.
What’s really great about Eddins’ opinion is that it’s not just a rejoinder to Heller.
It also goes on to talk about how🔥 it’s just not practical or feasible or wise to use history as your only guide to constitutional interpretation. 🔥
He wrote: “History is prone to misuse. In the Second Amendment cases, the court distorts and cherry-picks historical evidence. It shrinks, alters, and discards historical facts that don’t fit"
The Hawaii Supreme Court handed down a unanimous opinion on Wednesday declaring that its
👉 state constitution grants individuals 🔹absolutely no right to keep and bear arms outside the context of military service. 🔹
Its decision rejected the U.S. Supreme Court’s interpretation of the Second Amendment,
refusing to interpolate SCOTUS’ shoddy historical analysis into Hawaii law.
Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern discussed the ruling on this week’s Slate Plus segment of Amicus; their conversation has been edited and condensed for clarity. https://slate.com/news-and-politics/2024/02/hawaii-supreme-court-guns-case-rebuke-scalia.html?via=rss
I feel like we could just read chunks of this opinion into the record because it’s just such a delightful excavation of
both the bad history that undergirds "Bruen and Heller" before it,
as well as the larger project of conscripting judges into "historical analysis".
But I just want to read this quote from Justice Eddins: “Judges are not historians. Excavating 18th and 19th century experiences to figure out how old times control 21st century life is not a judge’s forte. History is messy.
It’s not straightforward or fair.
Bruen, McDonald, Heller, and other cases show how the court handpicks history to make its own rules.”
Walking to work this morning emphasized the difference between shoveled walks and walks that are jumbled ruts of ice and snow. Please, if you are able, shovel your sidewalk and if at all possible remove or at least salt the ice. I know it's a PITA but it truly makes so much difference to pedestrians. Like, the difference between getting to where we need to go safely vs twisting an ankle or falling dangerously.
What's the deal with the couches on fire thing? I didn't grow up here, this tradition is new to me. On the face of it it seems stupid.... what am I missing?
Door een ongeval op de#A27 richting Utrecht is voor Hagestein de rijbaan dicht. Verkeer vervolgd zijn weg automatisch via de #A2 in noordelijke richting. Houd rekening met drie kwartier extra reistijd. De berger is opgeroepen.
Door een ongeval op de #A2 richting Maastricht voor Maastricht-Noord is de rechterrijstrook dicht vanwege bergingswerkzaamheden. De vertraging is nu drie kwartier. We leiden je om vanaf knp. Kerensheide over de A76 en A79.
Het ongeval op de #A2 is afgehandeld en deze troep weer van de rijbaan af. Als je richting Maastricht wilt hoef je niet meer om te rijden vanaf knp. Kerensheide.
#a2 folks-- am I correct that we do not have an election next week? The month on my calendar reminded me that I should research issues but vote411 is telling me I have no elections scheduled. I guess I would have heard about it by now if we did but still seems weird.
Je hebt een half uur tijdverlies door een ongeval op de #A2 richting Utrecht voor knp. Oudenrijn. De berger is opgeroepen. Het is nog niet bekend hoe laat de rijstrook vrij komt. Check je route voor vertrek op: https://rwsverkeersinfo.nl
#Steinkorallen auf der Autobahn – normalerweise eher ein Aufgriff, den wir am Flughafen erwarten.
Ein Reisender auf der #A2 aus Richtung Osteuropa hatte sie dabei. Die Urlaubsmitbringsel wurden aufgrund von #Artenschutz beschlagnahmt.
