"...unless and until such time as the District of Columbia adopts a licensing mechanism consistent with constitutional standards..."

Great, as far as it goes but this notion that exercising a Constitutionally enumerated right should be subject to licensing is abhorrent and must be fought still.

One step at a time. Incrementalism was how these rights were lost, incrementalism is the only way to get them back.

SCOTUS in the 20th century has become essentially a ruling clique vote. Whatever the elites can accept becomes a ruling. For decades gun groups have pushed the 2nd Amendment and changed the thoughtspace on that issue. Same thing is happening as regards abortion, along with tech changes. The thoughtspace is the most important battlespace. That’s why government schools need to be ended, not mended.

I agree with you. That said, I’m honestly a little surprised that we have the momentum that we do have considering what a fragile majority we have on SCOTUS.
I personally don’t want to be biting my nails through a SCOTUS review of this issue.
Unless Kennedy tipped his hand amongst the other justices I don’t see either groups of four wanting to hear this case.
