New York’s lawyers have been getting uppity trying to find hooks to affect national issues, it’s

1. probably an effect of elite competition, same as California – as the population of NY grows, it still only has one AG, and the machine that fills that slot is based on an older and *smaller* constituency, temptation grows to play to the mob vs. the established insiders
2. yeah all the fact patterns they claim make sense, and make sense of weird anomalies I noticed in American Rifleman magazine. Also Ollie North as the guy standing against the corruption… makes sense, and makes a sort of sense of Ollie North.

oh also

3. probably something the Roberts-era courts or someone will have to smack down, just like the bipartisan trend of seeking national injunctions by filing in the obscure courts of outlier federal judges
