Roy Lucas Has Died of a Heart Attack
If you don't know who he is--he was one of the attorneys on Roe v. Wade (1973)--and for the last few months, he was also working on the Silveira v. Lockyer suit, attempting to overturn California's assault weapons law on Second Amendment grounds. I have had some serious concerns about this suit from the beginning, but talking to Roy Lucas over the last few months gave me some hope that because of his experience--and his reputation to the left--he might be able to pull a rabbit out of a hat if the Supreme Court decided to hear this suit. This is unfortunate. Unsurprisingly, the New York Times article talks about Lucas' work on Roe--but not his work defending the right to keep and bear arms. |
