The Michigan Municipal League (big not for profit that "sticks up" for Michigan municipalities) has filed an Amicus Brief with SCoM in CADL v MOC.

They argue, on one hand, that the statutory language doesn't list authorities, therefore does not include them. Urging the SC to take a literal approach.

On the other hand, they argue brandishing, which is not defined by the law either.

One must argue intent, because it is impossible to legislate all possible scenarios.
When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. Luke 11:21

Then He said to them, “But now, he who has a money bag, let him take it, and likewise a knapsack; and he who has no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one."  Luke 22:36

How is this case going anyway? Any word on dates for court?
Common sense, isn't.
I can't fix stupid.

We don't even know if SCoM will hear it. "Stay tuned".

Does the SCoM have a timeline that they are supposed to follow in regards to deciding whether or not to hear the case?

I've asked Dean the same question, answer: no.

The estimate from the learned ones is 4-6 months.
