Heller v DC decision due this week

[Bradley in DC]

I went to the SCOTUS this morning to hear the court hand down the 2nd Amd case on their last scheduled day this term. No such luck. They recessed until Wednesday.

In the meantime, let's make this go viral:

This will decide whether Montana remains part of the US.

 

[pinkmandy]

On the edge of my seat, too.

 

[yongrel]

Waiting with fingers crossed.

I heard they save the most momentous decision for last.

I guess we will find out if the supreme court cares as much about the rights of law abiding US citizens as they do about alleged terrorist at Gitmo. I bet a at least a few of the justices who stood up for the rights of foreigners locked up in a prison in Cuba will vote against the rights of law abiding US citizens living, working and paying taxes in the US.

While we're waiting ...

Kennedy v. LA - State court decision vacated. The death penalty for child rape is unconstitutional if the defendants' acts were not intended to cause death.

All you baby-raping pervs can bugger all the children you want in Louisiana, safe in the knowledge that you won't get the needle for it. Shit.

No Heller V. DC decision today.

 

[Sandra]

If anyone has a physical view to the SCOTUS building, please report what you see. Is there heavy security building up outside the building? If so, I guess we know what there decision is.

 

[asgardshill]

The Chief Justice has announced from the courtroom that the Court will issue all of its remaining opinions tomorrow at 10 a.m. Eastern.

Heller v. DC, Davis v. FEC and American Electric Power v. ? will be released tomorrow. Tune in tomorrow - same bat time - same bat channel.

 

[pinkmandy]

No Heller V. DC decision today.

Jeez. Do they think if they keep putting it off everyone will just forget about it or something?

 

[Sandra]

same bat- chit

 

[pcosmar]

Seems like Thurs. 10 am. Maybe.

Tom Goldstein -
We can now predict that in addition to Justice Scalia likely writing Heller

just added.

Tom Goldstein - To recap for those watching the Heller decision, it will definitely be decided tomorrow morning.

 

[asgardshill]

Jeez. Do they think if they keep putting it off everyone will just forget about it or something?

Last day of the term - they always do this on the major cases. Attention whores

 

[Sandra]

I think it's more like drawing it out for loathing, or having a ruling that is favorable to the public to leave us with a feel-good attitude.
