Re: Supreme Court to look at 2nd again

Many thanks for posting that JJVP ! That's what I was hoping to find and you provided it. A most fascinating read, and well worth taking the time to do so. And thanks for defining those terms.

This is indeed a historical case that has far reaching consequences.

Re: Supreme Court to look at 2nd again

Thanks SIA & Jim.

In looking at the SCOTUS blog, I find: "The Court will schedule all of Wednesday’s[edit:today, 9/30/09] grants for oral argument no earlier than the January sitting, which begins on Jan. 11."
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that this is the most important 2nd-amendment case in half a century. Either the 2nd is going to be incorporated on the states, or it never will be.
I agree.

Re: Supreme Court to look at 2nd again

Thanks chambers. :tiphat:

Some interesting things come up when you google the case. One is the SCOTUS docket:

http://origin.www.supremecourtus.gov/docket/08-1521.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

An interesting line showed up, and I'm not sure what it means:

"Jul 6 2009 Brief amici curiae of Texas, et al. filed. VIDED. "

Can anyone interpret this for me, and what it implies as how Texas is is involved?

Re: Supreme Court to look at 2nd again

So it has begun. I pray the pro 2A advocates will prevail. Since SCOTUS has agreed to hear the case, anyone care to speculate when the case will be put on its docket? I'd love to follow this from beginning to end.

Does SCOTUS provide webcasts of its proceedings?
