The Volokh Conspiracy is reporting that the Seventh Circuit will rehear the U. S. vs. Skoien case en banc.
This is the case where a three judge panel of the Seventh Circuit unanimously voted to vacate a conviction of firearms possession by someone convicted of misdemeanor domestic violence on Second Amendment gorunds and remanded the case for hearings on whether the blanket ban on misdemeanor domestic violence firearms possession met the proposed standard of scrutiny.
This decision now means that the entire panel of the Seventh Circuit will rehear the case, rather than just a three-judge panel.
