IIRC, the conference should be on whether or not to grant cert.
This is a very interesting - and quick - development, considering the Raich decision was only released this past Monday.

If they rule on this one as the ruled on the MedPot one, then there is nothing left to do but start over with a new government.

Looks like they were waiting. Says right in the text that they would await the Raich decision before ruling on this one. Looks like they needed to set the precednet before screwing our RKBA with the commerce clause.
Again.
So be it. A may their Gods forgive them.

I don't recall this case.
Can you give me a quick overview?

Let me guess: 6-3, majority opinion written by Scalia:
"We find that steel production is a major source of interstate commerce, and therefore find that manufacture, possession, and sale of firearms, which are made of steel, can be banned by Congress properly under the interstate commerce clause. Such a ban does not conflict with the Second Amendment, because when it was written, steel wasn't the major item of commerce at the time that it is today. Conviction upheld, and pleeeeese, Congress get these things off the streets ASAP!"

Here you go.The judgment is vacated and the case is remanded to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit for further consideration in light of Gonzales v. Raich, 545 U.S.____(2005).
