3 judge panel in DC, finds an individual right in the BoR? This is Onion or something, isn't it? Because there's no Christmas in March.

No, actually it was only two out of the panel of three.

And they can still ask for the entire set of judges to hear it en banc. And I'd be really surprised if they didn't -- and I'd be equally suprised if this decision wasn't struck down when heard en banc, which would then mean that it might go to the SCOTUS -- but, the SCOTUS has refused to hear similar cases in the past, so I think it's a bit premature to go breaking out the champaigne.

Still, it is remarkable to see a couple of federal judges get so many things so right, and explain it, on the record, in such painstaking detail. If nothing else, it should serve as a good starting point for future challenges.
