"The Supreme Court yesterday considered whether people convicted of a crime overseas can be barred from owning a gun in the United States, with the argument at times centering on how the absent Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist might rule.
On a day when Democratic Sen. John F. Kerry's concession to President Bush ended the presidential campaign without legal challenges to the outcome, the eight justices went about their business of hearing arguments and bantered at times. Rehnquist missed a third day of arguments; he disclosed Monday that he is undergoing radiation and chemotherapy for thyroid cancer, news that has prompted intense speculation about whether he will retire."

I found it disturbing that a ruling would not come for about 9 months (July), and that it took 4 years to reach the Court. I would have a question about due process. The makeup of the Court could be quite different by the time it issues a ruling.
I had to admire Bader-Ginsburg's position, which I thought was refreshingly objective rather than hostile to gun issues.
