Heller

Thursday, June 26th, 2008

Heller was affirmed by the Supreme Court this morning.

Update: This means that the Supreme Court ruled that the D.C. gun ban law is unconstitutional. It appears to have been 5-4 along ideological lines. Justice Scalia wrote the opinion. Justice Breyer dissented, joined by Justices Stevens, Souter and Ginsburg.

Another Update: Apparently, there are two written dissenting opinions, but only one majority opinion.

Update 9:25 a.m.: Here’s a link to Justice Scalia’s opinion upholding Heller. I’m sure it will take me a while to read it.
