		<description>Bugger

Like most rights, the Second Amendment right is not unlimited.
It is not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any
manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose: For example, concealed
weapons prohibitions have been upheld under the Amendment
or state analogues. The Court’s opinion should not be taken to cast
doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by
felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms
in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or
laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of
arms. Miller’s holding that the sorts of weapons protected are those
“in common use at the time” finds support in the historical tradition
of prohibiting the carrying of dangerous and unusual weapons.</description>

		<description>10:12 Tom Goldstein -  Heller affirmed.  

10:13 Ben Winograd -   
The Court has released the opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller (07-290), on whether the District’s firearms regulations – which bar the possession of handguns and require shotguns and rifles to be kept disassembled or under trigger lock – violate the Second Amendment. The ruling below, which struck down the provisions in question, is affirmed.   

 

Justice Scalia wrote the opinion. Justice Breyer dissented, joined by Justices Stevens, Souter and Ginsburg. We will provide a link to the decision as soon as it is available. 
 

10:13 Tom Goldstein -  Second  Amendment protects an individual right to possess a firearm.

5/4 is a better break IMHO, it means some of the squishy middle didn't like the decision</description>

		<description>I hope. Unfortunately I watch the SCOTUS flub Kelo, it's very possible they punt this one low and to the left as well.

30 more minutes and we'll know for sure.</description>

		<description>Maybe that was Paul Helmke's plan from the start.  He knew that us pro-gunners would get so anxious waiting for the supreme court to rule that we would chew our trigger fingers off in anticipation...

Personally, I'm hoping for much public weeping and gnashing of teeth from the Brady Bunch and their affiliated groups.  But you know they'll try to put some positive spin on it - "Well, we lost big time, but that just means it can only get better from here!"

		<description>Fingernails? Hell, I'm already down to the proximal phalanges...

I assume by 9:53, I'll have a metacarpal or two down to a nub.</description>
