Legal Commentary

Everyone else is going to say lots of substantive things about today's Supreme Court decision in Heller, the Second Amendment case. My own views are a bit complicated. But I just wanted to make one snarky observation:

Neither of the dissenting opinions suggests of Justice Scalia's majority opinion that "[i]t will almost certainly cause more Americans to be killed," Boumediene v. Bush, No. 06-1195, 2008 WL 2369628, at *65 (U.S. June 12, 2008) (Scalia, J., dissenting), even though I think that would not be an unfair characterization, whatever one believes about the Second Amendment.



Just a thought.
