Re: Heller ruling out of SCOTUS today?

57Coastie wrote:I see that the NRA had their pleadings ready to go, and filed lawsuits in at least Illinois and California just yesterday. And the wait begins again. With the threshold issue being the extension of Heller to the 50 states, after that is resolved in the affirmative, which most commentators consider likely, if not a slam dunk, our wait for the judiciary to address the difficult individual issues from state to state could be extensive. We can expect stalling tactics galore. Using Mr. Heller's case as an example, he and the others initially filed their lawsuit in February of 2003. More than five years later SCOTUS issued its decision.

I guess I have time for another cup of coffee.

The upside of this is that the Brady Bunch et al, are the ones on the spot. Those areas that choose to fight the inevitable will be severely chided by their constituents for spending tax dollars on a "lost cause". Better to reform, than contest.
I can see how many of the Brady supporters would feel the same way.

I can also see how many of those attorneys that would be asked to go to bat on these causes would resign rather than waste that portion of their career.
It's not quite a stake through the heart of the whining misguided czarist wannabe leaders out there, but it's close.

Remember how the parents would say, "You have to go to bed, before Santa will come." That's how I feel. ;-)
