Yes. But the DC Circuit corrected that with their ruling. If the U.S. Supreme Court would have refused to hear the case, the decision by the DC Circuit would stand, making the DC gun laws unconstitutional.
You won. We won. The DC gun laws are no good. They've been ruled unconstitutional by a federal court.
Now, not content with victory, we cheer when it's put in front of the U.S. Supreme Court so they can thoroughly f&^* it up.
You like what they've done with the Commerce Clause, so what you consider f&^*ed up is probably the best possible outcome.
But that ruling has no effect outside of DC. It only firms up the disagreement between the circuits as to the meaning of the second amendments "right of the people".
Yes the SC might F it up, but they are, IMHO, more likely to affirm the DC Circuit court, which ruling would set national precedence.
But then again we can't have the Supreme Court disagreeing with R.P. about the meaning of "the people" in the second amendment, as well as the rest of the bill of rights.
You bring up a good point. Exactly who is pushing this to the Supreme Court? I’m sure the NRA isn’t (I’m a member and haven’t heard that it is). Isn’t it the DC city council?
