In Emerson's case and a similar one the Supreme Court also rejected, the Bush administration told the Supreme Court that the Second Amendment protects an individual as well as the collective right to gun ownership. That position reversed decades-old policy on the Second Amendment.

Are there enough conservatives left in the field of law to fill our circuit courts?

Yes, but Bush's federal judge nominations are not made by him, but by state republican party muckity-mucks and is based on cronyism, blah-blah-blah. Don't expect much---true conservative legal minds don't mix well with this group and get left out.

Bush's Justice Department also supports the Lautenberg Restrictions that Emerson is going to jail over. See the link for Ashcroft's letter on Emerson,.
