Trump Judges Make Moves to Rescue Second Amendment in Appeals Court

The vote to rehear the case en banc failed by an 8-7 vote, with a couple Republican-appointed judges voting with the more liberal Democrat-appointed judges against en banc review. However, all four of President Trump’s judges voted as a bloc to rehear the case, along with three other Republican-appointed judges, including Judge Edith Jones, a longtime hero to constitutional conservatives appointed by President Ronald Reagan.

The primary dissental – which is a legal term for “dissent from denial of rehearing” – was written by Judge Jim Ho, who was appointed by President Trump. All the other Trump appointees on the Fifth Circuit – Judges Kyle Duncan, Don Willett, and Kurt Engelhardt – joined the opinion in full, for a total of seven judges calling for interpreting the Second Amendment according to its original public meaning.
