Constitutional Law

Heller wait continuing....

No decision today. Likely dates for announcement are all Mondays -- June 9, 16, and 23.

UPDATE: I'd bet on June 23, too. This is the most important decision in decades. Not just the most important 2A case. In terms of number of Americans interested, it beats every other issue in decades -- probably the school desegregation cases and Roe v. Wade are its only competitors in a half a century. The Court simply MUST get it on the nose. Its prestige rises in tens of millions of minds if it does so, and collapses in tends of millions if it does not. And this is an area where the Supreme Court case law is almost nonexistent, so it must work from scratch.
