I would point out that if the most liberal circuit has accepted incorporation, the others are likely to follow.

While liberal judges love incorporating things into the Constitution that aren't there, the 9th Circuit is the most overturned and least followed in the country.

The 2nd amendment is coming soon to a state or local government near you.

The bastardized version of the 9th Circuit? The right to bear arms under the 2nd Amendment applies in your home, but not in public?

Somehow the prospect of state laws being swept away and that invented 9th Circuit standard holding sway nationwide enforced from the federal bench isn't very reassuring. Advocates of centralized power should be pleased however.

I think you're confused. It's a weird turnaround, but in this situation the liberals and gun-haters are very much OPPOSED to incorporation. Just take a look at the City of Chicago's brief if you don't believe me.

They're scared to death that their precious handgun ban won't survive incorporation, as they should be, since the gun ban didn't survive a 2A challenge in DC.
