The Supreme Court ruled local ordinances interfering with the right to keep and bear arms unconstitutional.
The case comes in a suit brought against the City of Chicago's ban on handguns, which of course, only guaranteed that thugs could carry guns.
A big sigh of relief, and three cheers for justices who read black-letter Constitutional language for what it is.
The Chicago machine suffers another setback, blessedly.
The ruling, however, was 5-4, which means that the next Obama appointee would have voted against the Constitution, and in favor of the thugs.
Little wonder that Himself is so eager to ram through the Kagan nomination as quickly as possible.
He may also wish to reconsider his public scoldings of the Court during State of the Union addresses. This sort of thing comes back to haunt.
