Low energy memes <| sep |> Given how many other subs have been censored for purely political purposes , it would be foolish not to believe the same would happen to a sub which , as you say , was an unprecedented movement to crowdsource an investigation . One which involved some of the most powerful people in the world today . If you don ' t consider it likely that such a community would come under existence primarily because of such a purpose , then you need to study history , politics and the human character more . <| sep |> The state court can ' t simply block a lawsuit at the outset by refusing to hear it . The defendants must present evidence why a case should be summarily dismissed in response to the civil complaint . Failing that , the defendant must respond such that the plaintiff can ' t establish damages by a preponderance of evidence . Now , a state appellate court or state supreme court can refuse to hear an appeal of a lower court case , but that can generally be appealed to the SCOTUS for reconsideration by providing evidence and explanation of why the lower court erred in its decision provided that the civil matter relates to the Constitution . So I don ' t think it ' s hopeless in any way , but it will require careful crafting by a legal team experienced in 2 A cases and familiar with MA state gun law , and careful timing so that the SCOTUS is lined up correctly , just so the case doesn ' t get bounced . My hope is that they can get an injunction temporarily barring the AG ' s order while the case is being heard and that the AG ' s motion is denied based on the relevance to fundamental constitutional rights , but there is no way to predict an outcome . If the case needs to be refiled in state court , then so be it .
