My guess is that the pardons board reads things the same way, where it gives them the power.

That is the way I see it. It's a power grab by the Pardons Board.

I guess that I should also note that the Nebraska Supreme Court has a history of ignoring Legislative intent and the law as written and doing what they want, which usually gives them the power.  For an example look at our Self Defense Laws and how they state what the person defending themselves feels is a threat but the court adds what a reasonable person would find threatening.

If I feel threatened, I'm not likely to be thinking like a "reasonable person." I'm likely to be thinking like a scared person. But, still, there are some nervous Nellies out there who shouldn't be shooting first and asking questions later. That's a fine line.

The law seems clear to me. That set aside order (both Wilson's and the new form for an order) seem clear to me. A set aside should restore your right to bear arms.
