I agree with your guarded optimism. Roberts seems to have enough knowledge of Miller to grasp the essence, and in light of the fact that the "gun issue" has not been brought up by the MSM as a cudgel against him indicates an interest on his part...

Perhaps somebody with more knowledge of judicial types could speculate on how likely a judge with Robert's time on the bench is to have a fairly detailed and essentially correct knowledge of Miller? Isn't Miller pretty obscure except to the gun rights crowd?

Very, Roberts knows all about it.

And, one would hope, to the "defenders of the Constitution" types such as would make suitable Supreme Court Justices.

Roberts has suggested that he has much to learn. He does seem to be an extremely bright guy. If he doesn't "get it" then there is little hope for our nation. It is somewhat comforting that he could see the need for the Supremes to straighten things out due to the conflict at the Circuit Court level.
