Alex Kozinski, former chief judge of the Ninth Circuit, and now in private practice, has become an attorney for the plaintiffs/appellants, in Citizens for Fair Representation v Newsom, 18-17458, now pending in the Ninth Circuit.
This is the lawsuit that argues that California legislative districts have such huge populations (1,000,000 for each State Senator; 500,000 for each Assemblymember) that California is violating the U.S. Constitution’s guarantee that each state have a republican form of government. The people who filed the case include the Libertarian Party of California, the American Independent Party of California, and the city government of Fort Jones, California. They argue that ordinary people have no meaningful ability to communicate with their state legislators.

Kozinski wrote one of my favorite quotes:
The prospect of tyranny may not grab the headlines the way vivid stories of gun crime routinely do. But few saw the Third Reich coming until it was too late. The Second Amendment is a doomsday provision, one designed for those exceptionally rare circumstances where all other rights have failed — where the government refuses to stand for reelection and silences those who protest; where courts have lost the courage to oppose, or can find no one to enforce their decrees. However improbable these contingencies may seem today, facing them unprepared is a mistake a free people get to make only once. – Judge Kozinski’s dissent in Silveira v. Lockyer
Brain dead super-STUPID MORON judges never heard about Day ONE of 1775-1784 Am Rev War
— Battles of Lexington and Concord in Mass
— Mass Militia units AND armed folks NOT in Militia — counter-attack Brit Army units sunrise to sunset and rout them back to Boston, Mass.
Later — various Militia units and armed volunteers help defeat Brit forces — 1777 Saratoga, NY and several battles in southern States in 1780-1781 — esp after USA Regular Army units were beat bad by Brits in southern battles.

How many 2020 Prez candidates, left/right, are wannabee LAWLESS TYRANTS ???
SEE THAT 1776 DOI DOCUMENT.
LATER- VARIOUS VOLUNTEER UNITS IN WAR OF 1812, MEX-AM WAR AND EARLY CIVIL WAR.
See esp USA laws in 1861-1862 about armed volunteers put in regiments defending DC area — part core of Union Army of the Potomac 1861-1865.

Most of USA Army was in the West watching/killing Indians when the Civil WAR started in Apr 1861 at Ft Sumter, SC.
Very limited railroads in West in 1861 — took many months to get regular army units in western areas to DC area.
VERY fortunate that the Confeds did NOT attack DC first in Feb-Apr 1861.
