Exactly. And once you've established that it is an individual right against the federal government (not collective), then saying that it also applies to the states (via incorportation) just like the other amendments in the BoR is the natural course. This is an important first step. Let's hope the SCOTUS affirms.
I hope it gets there and that they do. It will begin to undo a lot of mischief AND put a lot of politicians in a position where they will have to be explicit about their views.
