High court won’t block Beshear’s order halting in-person classes at religious schools

 

WASHINGTON (AP) - The U.S. Supreme Court has refused to block an order by Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear that bars in-person, K-12 education until early January in areas hard hit by COVID-19. The decision rejects a plea from Danville Christian Academy. Kentucky Attorney General Daniel Cameron filed a brief last week on behalf of the school, and said Beshear’s order “violates the First Amendment Rights of Kentuckians.” Cameron had argued that Beshear’s order unfairly targeted religious schools, but Justice Samuel Alito rejected that argument in his dissent: “The Order applies equally to secular schools and religious schools, but the applicants argue that the Order treats schools (including religious schools) worse than restaurants, bars, and gyms, for example, which remain open,” he wrote in the seven-page ruling. The justices opined that Beshear’s order will effectively expire at the end of the week anyway because schools are about to begin their Christmas vacation, and can open again in early January. The order “effectively expires this week or shortly thereafter, and there is no indication that it will be renewed,” Alito wrote.

 

The Kentucky Democratic Party was quick to respond to the Supreme Court’s decision, sharing a statement with media that read in part: “Today, the U.S. Supreme Court recognized that we must all do our part to slow this virus and affirmed that Gov. Beshear was justified in taking measures to slow COVID-19 in Kentucky. Gov. Beshear has acted lawfully, decisively and with compassion to save lives during this pandemic.”

ATF Decision Could Lead to Biggest Gun Registration, Turn-in Effort in American History

 

Agency's vague AR-15 pistol standards could affect millions

 

New guidance from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) could put millions of Americans in legal jeopardy. The ATF published a notice Thursday that could require millions of AR-15 pistols and similar firearms—which are designed with braces that strap on to a shooter's forearm—to be either registered, turned in, destroyed, or dismantled. But the standards laid out for determining the devices' legality, such as caliber or weight, provide no objective measures, and the agency said it may also use undisclosed factors to judge the legality of the devices. The agency conceded in the notice that some pistol braces are legal and should not be subject to the registration or destruction requirement. It said, however, that it could not provide a blanket determination for which pistols, or braces with which they're often equipped, are legal and said it would have to examine each gun "on a case-by-case basis." That means owners of the vast majority of the estimated three to four million AR-15 pistols and similar firearms may have to register with the ATF.

 

Second Amendment advocates were up in arms over the proposed rule, saying the uncertain legal status could destroy several businesses that make pistol braces and harm the gun industry. Erich Pratt, senior vice president of Gun Owners of America (GOA), said the subjective nature of the guidance shows that the "ATF has gone off into the deep end." "GOA will rally the grassroots to fight these regulations, and if they eventually go into effect, we will commence immediate legal action to protect gun owners," Pratt said in a statement. The controversy stems from how federal law distinguishes between short-barrel rifles and shotguns, both of which must be registered and require a $200 tax stamp, and pistols that do not require either. The key component is whether a firearm is designed to be pressed against the shooter's shoulder. Since 2012, the ATF has classified several guns with braces designed to strap to a shooter's forearm as pistols. The agency's Boston field office called that interpretation into question in August after sending a cease and desist letter to one manufacturer. The agency ordered a review in October following intervention from the White House. Neither the ATF nor the White House responded to a request for comment. The notice said the agency plans to waive the $200 tax for those registering the affected firearms during a grace period to be announced later. The public has two weeks to offer comment on the ATF notice before it goes into effect.

Get the feeling these agencies are gearing up for what they think will be the Biden Administration or Democrat Administration.

76K new Georgia voters registered before US Senate runoffs

 

Nearly 76,000 new voters registered in Georgia since before the presidential election, enough to make a difference in the U.S. Senate runoffs if they turn out. The number of new voters was revealed in an updated voter registration list purchased from the secretary of state’s office by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. These voters signed up before the state’s Dec. 7 voter registration deadline and are eligible to participate in the Jan. 5 runoffs that will decide control of the Senate. They’re overwhelmingly young, with 56% of them under 35 years old. Some are new Georgia residents; others just turned 18. None has a voting record in the state. In all, there are a record 7.7 million registered voters in Georgia. The 76,000 new voters signed up between Oct. 5, the deadline to register to vote in the November general election, and Dec. 7, the deadline for the runoffs. Just 2,670 of the new voters have cast ballots in the runoffs through Tuesday, most of them during in-person early voting this week, according to state election data. The rest of them, 434 voters, had returned absentee ballots. The first-time Georgia voters can have an impact in a close election. Democratic President-elect Joe Biden won Georgia by about 12,000 votes, and Republican Gov. Brian Kemp won by nearly 55,000 votes in 2018. “Georgians learned on Nov. 3 that if they register and vote, that their vote has power,” said Seth Bringman, a spokesman for Fair Fight Action, a voting rights group founded by Democrat Stacey Abrams. “If Georgians used their collective power, we could create change in our state.”

 

Republican Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has warned out-of-state voters from relocating to Georgia for the runoffs unless they plan to stay here. It’s illegal to vote in Georgia without establishing legal residency, or to move here with the intention of voting and then quickly leaving. “Our office is dedicated to making sure Georgians and only Georgians vote in Georgia’s elections,” said Deputy Secretary of State Jordan Fuchs. The rate of voters who registered during the last two months is roughly consistent with the rapid growth of the state’s voter rolls over the last two years. The number of voters in the state increased by about 34,000 per month since October 2018, according to state election data. Most voters are automatically registered to vote in Georgia when they obtain their driver’s licenses. Less than half of the new voters, 46%, identified themselves as white when they registered. Overall, 53% of Georgia voters are white. More Hispanic and Asian voters registered than their overall share of the electorate. About 28% of new voters are Black, lower than their 30% portion of the state’s voters. So far, over 914,000 people have cast ballots for the runoffs through Wednesday, with heavy early voting turnout. At the same point in the general election, 916,000 people had voted.

 

By the numbers

7.7 million: Registered voters in Georgia

75,858: New voters since the Oct. 5 voter registration deadline for the general election

5 million: Turnout in the general election

914,000: Turnout through the first three days of early voting in the runoff election
