GOP brief filed for Supreme Court case

[xsubsailor]

I know this applies to New York but where's Hagerty ???

Sen. Ted Cruz and two dozen Senate Republicans, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, filed an amicus brief Tuesday in a Second Amendment case the Supreme Court is set to hear this fall, arguing that New York gun law violates the right to bear arms under the Constitution.

Cruz and McConnell were joined by GOP Sens. John Barrasso, Marsha Blackburn, John Boozman, Mike Braun, John Cornyn, Tom Cotton, Kevin Cramer, Mike Crapo, Steve Daines, Josh Hawley, John Hoeven, Cindy Hyde-Smith, Jim Inhofe, Ron Johnson, James Lankford, Mike Lee, Cynthia Lummis, Roger Marshall, Jerry Moran, Jim Risch, Marco Rubio, Rick Scott, and Thom Tillis in their brief.

 Noticed Bill Hagerty's name is absent. Wonder why.

Could be he wasn't asked? Could be they had enough signatures? Who knows?

Maybe. I doubt it. Most Conservatives wouldn't pass up the opportunity.

Might be his staff didn't get to run this by him before some deadline.  Since it involved a private law firm, the funds to pay for it might have been one more admin hurdle.  There are a lot of names missing to make me think this was done on the fly just to get it in on time, and summer months are hit or miss for items that aren't essential.
