Assignment task:
You are a SC Justice and will need a majority opinion in support or opposition of a case. Read and thoroughly research the case of Turnipseed v. Smith & Wesson Brands, Inc., American Outdoor Brands, Corp., BudsGunShop (website), LLC, Red Dot Arms, Inc., Robert Crimo III and Robert Crimo, Jr., (Turnipseed v. Smith & Wesson Brands) and draft a majority opinion resolving the major legal questions in the light of the facts of the case, constitution and case law.
Keep in mind SC opinions have two purposes, to explain and persuade readers and the public why a judge decided a particular way. Also, think about the three themes interpretative, normative and comparative to help formulate your opinion. Please be as well supported as possible through references and the explanation of SC decisions and legal principles. You MUST use the format (legal doctrine, institutional role, method and strategies of constitutional interpretation and commentary on the American polity) from 1. the facts, 2. the questions presented, 3. the holding, 4. the rationale, 5. concurring and dissenting opinions, 6. the significance of the case to help organize your opinion. Make sure to answer the questions in each section (where applicable). For example #1 Legal Doctrine, when crafting your opinion answer what question of law does this case raise, how do YOU (as a SC Judge) answer that question, what doctrines of law do YOU (as a SC Judge) utilize or formulate and does YOUR answer (as a SC Judge) conform to existing legal doctrine or does it change it?; and so on. You are writing your answers as the judge/justice.
