If so, the words of Judge Alex Kozinski would have told the stark truth of the matter.

Kozinski did great in his dissent on US v. Emerson, but I like Kleinfeld's dissent even better.

It is, IMHO, the most articulate and exhaustive defense of the 2nd admendment that I've ever read:

Yes, his dissent was excellent.

"The sheer ponderousness of the panel's opinion—the mountain of verbiage it must deploy to explain away these fourteen short words of constitutional text—refutes its thesis far more convincingly than anything I might say."

The same is true of the McCain-Feingold monstrosity and the simple words of the First Amendment.

I thought US v. Emerson was in the 5th Circuit, in and around Texas, IIRC. Wasn't Emerson the doc with a restraining order against him for threatened domestic violence? Was he transferred?
