Why Lawrence VanDyke\u2019s Video Dissent in Duncan is a Real Problem For Anti-Gun Judges<\/a><\/p>\n

Courts do have a lot of rules for introducing evidence and arguments. The net effect of all of those rules is simple: they tend to entrench the things that the court wants to believe. If your argument benefits from the court\u2019s biases, the rules of evidence will help you. If you\u2019re working against the court\u2019s biases, the rules of evidence can be fatal to your case.<\/em><\/p>\n

VanDyke is in a unique position here. As a judge rather than a party to the case, he can do pretty much whatever he wants. And he\u2019s using that power to say the majority is using the rule against judges bringing outside facts to cover up their real goal: preventing judges from bringing outside logic. They don\u2019t like standard-capacity magazines. <\/strong>And that\u2019s a personal opinion that people are free to have. But under\u00a0Bruen, the only way a court could uphold a ban on those magazines is if they prevent people like VanDyke from pointing out the holes not in their facts, but in their basic logic.<\/em><\/p>\n

Lay people don\u2019t read court rulings, let alone dissents. But video is a much more effective medium, and VanDyke\u2019s video is all over social media right now. That\u2019s a problem for the majority\u2019s logic, but it\u2019s good for logic in general.<\/em><\/p>\n
