Constitutional Law

No atty fees to McDonald, either

The District Court also denied attorney fees in the McDonald case. Text is in extended remarks below. This ruling is, I'm sure, simply indefensible. They fought all the way to the U.S. Supremes, won there, Chicago (with no choices left) changed its ordinance ... and the court still rules McDonald was not the "prevailing party." I trust this is going to appealed, although it may be assigned to the same Seventh Circuit panel (which definitely did not like the McDonald result and thus may, like the District Court, let it show).
