Mississippi Supreme Court Denies Petition To Undo Open Carry Block

A three-judge panel of the Mississippi Supreme Court ruled yesterday against the state attorney general’s petition to undo an injunction blocking a firearms open carry law from going into effect.
“After due consideration, we find that the State’s Combined Petition should be denied for procedural reasons,” the order signed by Justice James W. Kitchens declared. “In denying the Petition, the panel expresses no opinion respecting the merits of the matters pending before the circuit court.”
We had previously discussed the new Mississippi open carry law and how an activist judge blocked implementation of the law for what appears to be illegitimate reasons.
With this move, the supreme court has weighed in by not weighing in. In other words, there is no one left in the judiciary who will stop judicial activism in Mississippi.
The proper way to deal with this kind of judicial activism is to implement the constitutional law anyway and impeach the judge in an emergency meeting of the Mississippi Senate. It’s called balance of power, and at least in part, America is built upon this precept.
