My take on this is that now the ball is in Emerson's court, which is a good thing! Now that we have a 2nd Amendment friendly AG in office, who would not have be inclined to appeal a loss on 2nd Amendment grounds to the Supreme Court, all we have to do now is to take the initiative to appeal to the Supreme Court ourselves... and if I'm not mistaken, that is just what the Second Amendment Foundation is planning!
Now if Al Gore would have won the election, we all know he would have had an anti-gun AG... Under that scenario, I believe that the 5th Circuit would have swung the other way in not only upholding the individual rights interpretation of the RKBA, but it would have upheld Emerson's district court win as well, because in that case the AG would have appealed to the Supreme Court.
Don't you see that now we have the perfect opportunity to make lemonade out of the lemons we have been handed???
What do you think?

I totaly agree. Ashcroft can instruct his lawyers to appeal it to SCOTUS but they won't rigorously offer an argument against the case. It would be good to get this affirmed by the scotus. I think I will drink a cold one right now to celebrate!
