Re: DC Gun Ban Overturned
good.
"bans" are unconstitutional... there's a thing called regulation for a reason.

I have been keeping close tabs on this, thank you for showing this for all.
DC should have some of toughest gun regulation in the nation, again it is DC the Capital.

Regulation, definitely. Just no bans. I think this is a good outcome. They leave plenty of room for reasonable regulations. The gun issue should be off the table politically.

yeah, Scalia is swinging in favor of personal liberty? I wonder who paid him.

On the 2nd Amendment, this was a predictable outcome. It's a shame he's so conservative on a personal level.

It always seems weird to me that certain issues get labeled conservative or liberal and then it seems like points of view are assigned via drawing slips of paper out of hat. The map there makes little sense to me. Or at least I tend to disagree.
I'm pretty thrilled with the outcome of the DC gun ban case. I (predictably) was unable to wholly win a dinner table debate with my father about it, but I'm pleased that the actual case went the way it did.

I'm thinking more of issues where it seems Scalia's conservatism trumps his announced judicial methodology (Check out the Raich case). I don't fall into those categories either. Am very happy with the verdict and how Scalia chose to word it.

PS: In the interest of full disclosure, I would not want a 5th Justice of Scalia's methodology (even when he is consistent) on SCOTUS.
