Yep, fingers crossed. Could win big, but theres the chance of losing huge. Although if the supremes go insane itll just push the issue front and center and possibly be the tipping point.
the countdown is on...

Parker vs. DC is going to conference the same day.
(Ms. Parker et al have replied ... anyone have the brief link? ... and ... Michigan Beer & Wine Wholesalers Assoc. filed?? in opposition?? ok that's curious...)

An update on the "DC vs. Heller" and "Parker vs. DC" court cases. It appears they are both scheduled for conference at the SCOTUS on 11/9. We will see then if either are granted cert. It wouldn't surprise me if the SCOTUS scurried from this, as they have typically done when regarding the Second Amendment.
Parker vs. DC in particular has the potential to set seventy-plus years of gun control laws on their ear.
A direct ruling by the SCOTUS on the true meaning of the 2A is long overdue, and worth the risk, IMHO.

but after KELO there's no telling.Well, O'Connor and I believe Rehnquist as well voted with the majority on Kelo, so I think there's been a definite, though perhaps slight shift in the Constitutional direction since then.
