The House the People Built

A house, the house, is built from its foundation. In a democracy, that foundation is the people. On November 3, Americans exercised their power to decide who would represent them, who would answer their questions, and who would help shape their future. From Washington to Indiana to Lake County, the results offered a powerful reminder: Political power is entrusted by voters, and voters can change its direction.

Second Amendment Roundup: Viramontes Is Not Moot

In the Viramontes v. Cook County case pending in the Supreme Court, Cook County has filed a Suggestion of Mootness in response to a Motion to Dismiss Petitioner Cutberto Viramontes from the case. The question presented in the case is: "Whether the Second and Fourteenth Amendments guarantee the right to possess AR-15 platform and similar semiautomatic rifles." Cook County argues that standing in the challenge is based on Mr. Viramontes' wish to obtain an AR-15 style rifle, but Christopher Khaya, the only other individual petitioner in the case, only wishes to obtain an AK-47 style rifle. Mr. Khaya, the argument goes, does not have standing to litigate the question presented because he did not state he wishes to obtain an AR-15.

In an appeal submitted to the agency, the state provided updated damage numbers showing the storm cost eligible for public assistance is now $43 million — up from $27.6 million in the original request and well above FEMA’s $24.9 million standard.
