Yup.We're looking at a minimum 4-8 years for Incorporation?
1+ years to bring the Chicago case, as it will take time to adapt the pending case to the exact nuances of Heller.
1-2 years to actually prosecute the case in lowest federal court.
1-2 years to appeal to circuit court.
1-2 years to get next appeal accepted by SCOTUS.
1 year to get a SCOTUS verdict.
That's 8 years easy, 5 if things go fast & smooth.
Ack.
And that assumes that Chicago (or whoever the initial defendant is) plays according to plan as DC did (despite rock-solid circuit court ruling, opted to appeal to SCOTUS instead of subvert ruling by changing laws in question to something different & more obfuscated). Methinks DC doesn't know how to play dirty like Chicago does.
