Morris v. U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
President Obama's Justice Department left nothing to chance last month in a major Second Amendment battle being fought in Idaho that will affect millions of acres of federal land throughout the country. Pushing aside Idaho's United States Attorney, a top Justice lawyer flew to Boise to argue that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' prohibition on possession of a functional firearm at its public recreational sites in 43 States is constitutional. Shortly after the lawyer got back to Washington, but likely before he filed his expense report, the Idaho federal district court ruled for the Idaho woman who filed the lawsuit.
Justice prevails. Regardless of his incessant attacks on lawful gun ownership, Obama cannot simply wish regulations into place.
