Re: Heller not incorporated against states
The concluding comments in the Opinion appear to "invite" SCOTUS to take up the matter. Whether or not there are enough opposing Circuit Opinions to justify SCOTUS is a matter solely in the Court's discretion. Due to the amount of interest in the matter, I would bet they will take it. "Justice" Sotomayor will not likely change the composition, at least in her early days, but maybe we'll be surprised for the better??? There is just something about her that makes me think/hope that as the newest member, she will intelligently listen to others who have been there longer.......and maybe be open minded enough to consider whether they might be better reasoned. In any case, it will be interesting to watch. Better to have this Court decide 2A Incorporation, than one a few years from now.
