This just in - well we were out of town yesterday. The Supreme Court heard oral argument on the DC gun case.
They get it! It was about bears, and the English Bill of Rights, and the state constitutions. These guys know some history.
There was lots of room for them to decide one way or the other, but the game has completely changed now.
Most likely outcome - an individual right to bear arms. But will it have any teeth? Too soon to tell.

New trial for some black southern murderer, and the court upheld Washington state's weird primary system.
We haven't read that one yet.
