“I’ve spent the past couple of days reading analysis and opinions on the recent DC vs Heller decision by the Supreme Court. I was listening when they announced the opinion, and was reading it within minutes of it being posted. It is a landmark decision, no doubting that, but also pretty scary both for what it doesn’t say, and for how close it was. Scalia really outdid himself this time, and Stevens and Breyer should be ashamed of themselves for the shoddy work they did on their dissents. It’s worth reading the opinions just for the amusing name-calling. I’ve spent about all the time I’ve been away from work since then reading commentary and analysis of the opinions and what may come out of them. This is a very narrow opinion, though I think it has a lot more depth than a lot of the anti-rights people realize.” (06/30/08)
