The Supreme Court released opnions on four cases on Monday, the third-to-last day for such releases (as I understand it, and stop me if I’m wrong) this term.
That leaves them 20 opinions to release over the next two Mondays, including McDonald Vs. City of Chicago, the likely-to-be-landmark Second Amendment case that, if all goes well, will force all state and local governments to treat the Amendment as the founding fathers wrote it; a right of The People . Not the National Guard or police; not people with political and administrative clout. The People.
Anyone wanna lay odds they hold off until the last decision of the last day of the session, June 28?
They will hold off until the end. However, don’t count on a good decision. The court is 4-4 with Kennedy as the swing vote a position he seems to enjoy far more than any silly old Constitution.
I’m expecting an end of session 5-4 decision in favor as well. Can’t wait. Possibly with the CJ writing the decision.
Mitch, ignore this if too far off topic, but what is your opinion of the NRA, a single issue gun rights group, no longer actively opposing the DISCLOSE legislation since they have an exemption. While possibly shortsighted, I have defended them because they are first and foremost a non-partisan gun rights organization, but they seem to be taking some heat for this move.
