Remember, these people are above us, above reproach, above criticism. Tremble, as they adjudicate your future.It wasn’t long ago that U.S. District Judge Katherine Menendez ruled that Minnesota’s ban on concealed carry licenses for adults under the age of 21 was unconstitutional, but less than a month after handing down her initial decision in favor of the plaintiffs the Biden appointee is now siding with the state in its appeal.
SNIP
Menendez went even further in her reasoning, however; undercutting her original opinion striking down the state’s prohibition by repeatedly arguing that issues like this are “open to differing conclusions” and that “[r]easonable minds can easily disagree about several aspects” of her own analysis.
