SCOTUS also handed down a real turkey gun control decision. Reckless conduct is sufficient basis for a lifetime ban on firearms.
Neither decision should come as a surprise. SCOTUS has usurped the role of policymaking, and Congress is darn-well pleased with this.
Maybe some state should pass a law saying any women who has been convicted of a crime involving reckless conduct is bared from having an abortion.... The court kind of painted themselves into a box saying an individual can lose one constitutional right (gun ownership) just for a conviction on a minor offense but can't lose another (abortion - even though that isn't really a constitutional right, but that's another argument).
Thanks for the second link. Very interesting. Sotomayor dissented with Justice Thomas on that one. Two cases were involved there - both from the state of Maine.
