I just wish they would render a decision on this already.

I want Thomas to write the opinion. He also understands the 2nd amedment. I want a Black Man to write the opinin of the century. I want all Americian citizens to know that what ever race, religion, gender etc. that they are that they have a right to keep and bear arms. I WANT THOMAS!!!! He can write that the 2nd amendment is "the pallidium of liberty" FINALLY.
Nothing racist about what I said. Thomas has always been a STRONG supporter of the second amendment. He has said so in a teasing way in dicta. He is not afraid of the truth of the matter.
Oral Argument, p.8. Suffice to say that the self-defense centered, incorporation-ready right y'all are hoping for could also be described as a neo-Blackstonian right.MR. DELLINGER: [W]hen you read the debates, the congressional debates, the only use of the phrase "keep and bear arms" is a military phrase ...
JUSTICE SCALIA: Blackstone thought [the right to arms] was important. Blackstone thought it was important. He thought the right of self-defense was inherent, and the Framers were devoted to Blackstone.
Oral Argument, p.78.JUSTICE SOUTER: Well, can they consider the extent of the murder rate in Washington, D.C., using handguns?
MR. GURA: If we were to consider the extent of the murder rate with handguns, the law [still] would not survive any type of review, Your Honor.
JUSTICE SCALIA: All the more reason to allow a homeowner to have a handgun.
MR. GURA: Exactly, your Honor.
That's good. Why does it matter if he's black?
Why did I just spend 2 minutes reading this thread?
Folks, it will be what it will be, and everything being said here is pure speculation.
One of these is not like the other! Seriously, I bet Thomas writes an opinion even more hardcore pro-RKBA than Scalia.depending on the tally. If the tally is as close as possible, then I'd say that Kennedy, Thomas, or roberts would write it to keep it as middle-grounded as they can.
I want a Black Man to write the opinin of the century.

It might seem fitting that the number one civil rights case of this century, maybe of all time be written by justice thomas.I want a Black Man to write the opinin of the century.
The two clauses go together beautifully: Since we need a militia, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
The Brady Bunch refers to him as "Machine Gun Sammy" because of his 1996 appellate court decision that the federal ban on machine gun possession was unconstitutional. Alito's authoring of the majority opinion would absolutely launch Sarah and her minions into space in an apoplectic fit. It would be just too rich and delicious!
Wouldn't it be better to have a Supreme Court Justice who is considered more anti-gun write a strong 2nd Amendment opinion....
