The last straw would be if this Supreme Court rules in favor of DC in the DC gun ban case that’s pending. Fortunately, that’s unlikely, thanks to Bush’s Supreme Court appointments.

Well the same court just ruled that illegal combatants, those who fight or spy while not in uniform, and are caught on foreign battlefields, have the same right to habeas corpus relief in US federal courts, as someone born here and charged keeping and/or bearing an "illegal" firearm.

I was pretty confident of the outcome in "Heller" until they did that. Now you might as well flip a coin as far as predicting what this Court might do in any given case, even after hearing all the arguments and reading all the briefs.
