The problem with this is that clarification of the legislators intent is up to the courts. I don't know how you are evenreading this into the law? Van Hollen can clarify whatthe law actually says, not it's intent.
I wouldn't worry about attorney's fees until we hear back from them. I also asked my attorney to see if any of the attorneys that looked this would work pro-bono.
The class action idea has merit considering the Heller model. I believe this may be a good idea when thinking how they whittled it down to one guy.
ETA: Even if working pro-bono for us, if the lawyers win they are usually entitled to be paid a fee by the state somewhere near thecurrent hourly average. At least, that's how the lawyers working Heller are getting paid. Remember, it's the states fault if this is found unconstitutional. I do believe they can evenbring suit against the state for compensation if need be.

Could we get clarification on the school zone ban from Van Hollen? Maybe he could clarify if this was meant as an enhancer.
