Supreme Court Extends Heller to the States

By rdasgupta

ADVERTISEMENTS

While most of the Supreme Court buzz may be focused on Supreme Court Nominee, Elena Kagan’s confirmation hearings which started today – the current justices are making headlines of their own, handing down a number of landmark decisions.

Already issued this morning was the Court’s decision in McDonald v. Chicago (08-1521), a Second Amendment case that we blogged about earlier this year.  As expected, the Court (5-4), decided to extend Heller’s holding to the states. Read the full 214-page decision, here.

And check the Fastcase Blog later today for copies of other Supreme Court decisions.
