Constitutional Law

Heller, women and gays

Ann Althouse suggests that the Heller women's amicus brief may have been abstracted into Scalia's opinion. "The argument about handguns and upper-body strength is explicitly a women's rights argument in at least one brief..." Given the words employed in both, it's convincing to me.

And Gay Patriot suggests that gays decided will benefit from the decision. He argues "I believe this decision is the best ruling for gays in many years..."

Sounds like everyone wins out, except the editorial board of the New York Times. Like its publish, they may already be packing heat. Much the same in California.
