U.S. Solicitor General Noel Francisco giving opening remarks during the Federalist Society’s Supreme Court Preview panel discussion, on Sept. 21, 2018, held at The Mayflower Hotel in Washington, D.C.
The Trump administration’s U.S. Justice Department on Monday asked the U.S. Supreme Court for argument time to support a challenge to New York City gun restrictions, even though the government has not yet taken a position on whether the case is now moot, as the city contends.
