The Court should have taken judicial notice of the fact many state constitutions accord even greater protections to gun rights and self-defense than the federal Constitution does. It is indisputable in American history that from the earliest times onwards, the states were concerned to emphasize the individual character of the RKBA. This has never been changed anywhere.

...and how said it is that we are so excited to hear the same "news" that our forefathers recited to us over two-hundred years ago.
Because it's been just about 200 years since the constitution actually held any sway over the laws of the land. Nice to see a microscopic and even though temporary reversal of the trend.
It won't last, but for today it's nice for a change.

It will also be interesting to see where the Republican presidential candidtaes come down on the decision. I'm guessing Rudy won't like it.

He's a total moron. What's truly sad is that he apparently thinks he's some kind of 'conservative' when it's painfully obvious from the position he's arguing that nothing could be further from the truth.
Ah well. There's another poster who has a tagline which describes this situation most succinctly.
"Free speech makes it easier to spot the idiots."
That's never been more true than in his case.

This decision kind of blows a giant hole in his "regulate consistent with the 2nd Amendment BS."
Rudy is a fraud.
I'm going to enjoy watching him lose the primary.

The point is that the commerce clause does not give the feds the right to regulate everything, the USSC has said this, and not everything falls under the purvue of that clause anyway.

Everything isn't interstate commerce. Not according to Congress.

It's hard to say about Kennedy. It may be that with a stronger constitutionalist contingent on the court, he may be willing to do something to stop the madness. On the other hand, geriatric leftism could set in and he may view himself as the new equalizer now that O'Connor has left.
My hope is that Stevens leaves the court soon, one way or the other.

It isn't even logical. There would be no DC circuit if the constitution didn't apply.
This dumb broad probably thinks the constitution applies to Gitmo prisoners but not DC residents. I'm not joking.

That's true. The USSC has said, in the simplest terms, "Mind your own business, which is not everything you'd like it to be or may think it is" to the feds.

The court overruled Congress in Lopez. Yes, I know.
So it appears that 'interstate commerce' is what SCOTUS says it is and not what Congress says it is.
Bizzare.
