jpk1md,
Saw the application; I'm looking for the text of the approval.

Brett, it might just be that the Supremes recognize that this could be a historic case and want both sides to be well prepared, so that later no one could say that there was a lack of parity, thus leaving the issue open.
the Court shouldn't even be seriously entertaining not taking the appeal.
For protecting 2nd as individual right:
Scalia, Thomas, Alito, Roberts. They are strict constructionists that believe the Constitution is what it says, not what the activists want it to say. If they didn't like the 2nd amendmentment they would say repeal it, but what is, is. Their other rulings and much of their personal precedence supports individual right.
For a "collective" or militia right:
Ginsberg, Breyer, Souter (GHWB huge mistake), Stevens. They believe that the constitution is a living document and the needs of current society are the way the Constitution should be interpreted. They have always been 99.9% liberal in there opinions and some of their public pronouncements and personal precedents support the "collective" rights theory.
It boils down to 4 conservatives vs 4 liberals with ANTHONY Kennedy in the middle holding up his finger to see which way the wind blows.
Its not being reported as a seizure, which is definitely more along the lines of "collapsed" than "fell down"
Just caught that. The article says unexplained seizures generally mean you're an epileptic. He's had two now.
Yeah at two idiopathic seizures, I think they have to take away your drivers license (or at least notify the DMV). I wonder if they'll put him on phenobarb or not.
I think everyone is waiting for the September appeal deadline.

There really isn't much to talk about until DC releases their formal request for appeal (which, perversely, could be little more than "we want to appeal").

If DC appeals on the basis that the 2nd does not apply to DC would that also indicate that "they" do not think the rest of the BOR applies in DC?
6-3 in favor of individual right.

So you think both Souter and Kennedy will come out for an individual right or were you thinking a more suprising flip (Ginsburg)?
