After listening to oral arguments I knew, beyond a doubt, the 7th would uphold the current case law and render this verdict. They sent it, purposefully, to the SCOTUS since that is the only venue that can overturn past SCOTUS rulings. One of the Justices even commented to Gura that "he already had his circuit split, and the case would be decided elsewhere." Then told Mr. Gura to just hush up and save his time for rebuttal, which Mr. Gura did.

This is no surprise, to me, and honestly, it's the way things are supposed to work. Circuit Appealet courts are not supposed to ignore Stare Decisis and hand out any fool judgement they want. This case was destined to go to SCOTUS for incorporation and the 7th Circuit merely recognized and obeyed the "rules of engagement."

Nothing to see here...
