This is the best news I’ve heard in quite a while! Apparently the Supreme Court really CAN work correctly, occasionally.
Nice post, Drew!
This is not a suprising decision, but a wonderful one all the same. Given the Court’s ruling in Heller, this should have come out just how it did. I haven’t read the whole deicsion yet, but I’m curious if any precedent will come out of this that will be of impact in the future. Anyone who gets through the decision before me, please post your thoughts I’d love to hear them.
Regardless, though, this is a great day for the rule of law and the cause of liberty. Thank God there are still a few Americans on the Court that care about what the Founders thought and set up. The good news regarding Obama’s nominations is that they won’t change the makeup of the Court and by the time the good ones are ready to retire we should have reclaimed the exectutive and a real conservative (not a Bush-style lip service conservative or an out and out commie like BHO, but a real conservative) should be in office and we can get some continued success out of the judicial. Thanks for the post, this is great news!!!

Now to turn up the heat against Kagan. No way. Must not happen. Keep her off the bench.
Damned right. She’s a disaster. Fortunately, she’s a documented disaster - if we can just get at the documents!
Shit, I hope we dont have to wait 235 years for the rest of the bill of rights to be coddified.YAY AMERICA
The rest of the bill of rights has been incorporated; the 2nd was the last one. There are potions of the rest that haven’t been tried, but they are small ones that don’t really lend themselves to trial in most instances. All the big stuff is now incorporated. By way of trivia, anyone know what the first incorporation case was, what year it was tried and what right it covered?
OK I’ll give it up. It was Gitlow in 1925 which incorporated the 1st amendment and free speech.
Should have been 9-0. But it’s on!
