Any updates on this? It is after the 12th and I haven't seen or heard anything yet.

I think the longer it sits on the docket without anything being done and concealed carry being allowed on campus with nothing happening, the harder it is going to be for anyone to seriously argue that it is a problem. It would behoove people on the scene, e.g. SCC, to document that various classes held various discussions without any apparent problem. I am suspicious of Judge Yeakel, but given his denial of the temporary injunction because the plaintiffs were unlikely to succeed, I think he is unlikely to grant a permanent one, but if he does no doubt the AG and UT will appeal immediately.

Does anybody have a link to the new Motion to Dismiss that was due by September 12'th?

I've searched the Google high and low... only place I've found the documents you must pay for a subscription

I can tell you though that it was filed on 9/12. Document 64 & 65 both appear to be motions to dismiss.

How in the world can they charge for it? Aren't these kinds of documents the essence of public domain?

If someone goes to the trouble of uploading a public document and providing the means for you to access it, they can charge for their trouble, e.g. a newspaper website. LexisNexis is full of public domain documents, but they charge for the added-value services of sophisticated searching, storage of the documents, etc. Even if you go directly to the court administrators/clerks, wouldn't surprise me if there is a fee for finding and copying the documents. TANSTAAFL.

I wonder who it was who placed the casings? Someone for campus carry or someone opposed trying to fan the flames of dissent?

My bet would be on the "honorable" opposition. Seems very suspicious that one professor found two of the casings. On a side note what does a "rhetoric professor" teach?

As far as the liberal activist and the singer/songwriter - I'm glad they cancelled. The less liberals on campus indoctrinating instead of educating the better.

There is a system maintained by the Federal courts for access to all court filed documents, called PACR. You register, give a deposit and they bill monthly. Less than $10 a month, no charge. It gives access to all Federal courts. IIRC, it's 10 cents a page to download. I used to use it all the time before I retired.

One "Rhetoric" professor finds 2 shell casings? She must really have an eye for those things!

I have decided to start sending Charles' analysis regarding the comparison of LTC holders to the general population to the authors of articles and blog posts that are anti-gun or anti-campus carry. download/file.php?id=7163

Instead of arguing, let the facts speak for themselves.

It is interesting to note which courts charge and which do not for court-filed documents. The Texas Supreme Court, Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, and Texas Appellate Courts do not charge for their opinions or filed briefs to my knowledge. They are freely accessible on-line. Same with the United States Supreme Court. Trial courts appear to be another animal--most appear to charge whether at the federal or state level. Would be nice if none of the courts charged so retired dudes like me on a fixed income can access various documents and study them.

.

I would not be surprised to find the casings were planted by an anti. Common tactic by the left on campuses across the use -- spraypaint racial insults on your own door, then call the cops and facebook and complain about 'racism' on campus.

Rhetoric is the art of speaking and writing persuasively. It was once an essential part of a classical liberal education, but I expect that like most subjects on campus, has been bowdlerized into Marxist diatribes.

So what...she found casings. That means absolutely nothing. Maybe someone had them to make jewelry or some mixed media art project...just saying.

I like some of Ray LaMontagne's music, but after that statement he won't be getting any more of my money.

It smells a little of a deliberate setup, but it could also be a pro 2A student just trying to get a rise out of the liberals. While I can certainly understand that mindset, it's really not appropriate at this time. We need campus carry to be as much of a non-event as open carry has been.
