Supreme Court to hear Gun Rights Case ...

The Court is not going to strengthen P&I because that would lead to gay marriage. You strengthen it and then you HAVE to recognize marriage licenses in states that give marriage rights to same sex couples. I KNEW they would never go that route. The Conservatives on the court are no more interesting in freedom than the liberals.
 
well, for those that even bothered to read the transcripts, you'll understand this brief rundown/synopsis of the oral arguments.

all credit for this goes to the politics, guns, and beer blog writer.

GURA: Scalia! An argument for incorporating under privileges and immunities, YOU CAN HAS!
SCALIA: WTF are you talking about? We can incorporate it under due process. I hate due process and I even think that.
GURA: Uhhh
SCALIA: Are you trying to get a job at a law school?
GURA: Oh shit
SCALIA: SERIOUSLY STFU IF WE USE PRIVILEGES AND IMMUNITIES THESE FUCKOS WILL LEGITIMIZE EVERYTHING STFU STFU STFU
GURA: But you hate due process
SCALIA: I LIKE IT NOW
GURA: Uhhh
GINSBURG: I’m a bitch!
SCALIA: LULZ
STEVENS: I’m a bitch!
CLEMENT: This should obviously be incorporated under due process.
ALITO: Werd
BREYER: *motorboats Sotomayor*
FELDMAN: Here’s my first argument.
SCALIA: That argument sucks.
FELDMAN: Ordered liberty?
SCALIA: We haven’t used that since 1937.
FELDMAN: Have too.
SCALIA: When?
FELDMAN: Uh, here’s my second argument.
SCALIA: You just argued against your first argument.
FELDMAN: Did not.
SCALIA: Did so.
FELDMAN: DID NOT!
SCALIA: …
FELDMAN: *cries*
SCALIA: …
ROBERTS: You just argued the losing Heller argument.
FELDMAN: *pees pants*
BREYER: Let’s make a chart.
ROBERTS: Madison made a chart!
BREYER: STFU
THOMAS: *reads the Bible*
SCALIA: The 2A puts the fun in fundamental.
FELDMAN: Let me tell you what Heller says.
SCALIA: I wrote Heller, fucknuts.
KENNEDY: So if we’re going to just incorporate the militia purpose of Heller, what case do we use for precedent?
FELDMAN: No fucking idea.
SCALIA: Why are you talking about the right to self-defense? That’s not in the Constitution.
FELDMAN: See above. Besides, nobody would really restrict the right to keep and bear arms so that it affected self-defense.
SCALIA: Have you even read Heller?
FELDMAN: I don’t think so.
KENNEDY: Gura, let’s use your last three minutes to talk about everything but the 2A.
ROBERTS: I’m going to give you the chance to take back that privileges and immunities thing.
GURA: No, we think it’s a good idea!
ROBERTS: *sigh*

The P&I argument is a good one, but for the conservatives on the court it means legitimizing all kinds of freedom and they hate that as much as the Liberals do with guns. Not only that but the Attorney for the petitioner was really bad and let the court get him off on all sorts of tangents. The NRA lawyer was better but I don't like the argument as much as I am, as stated earlier, about broadening freedom in this country. Either way, 5-4 for invalidating the ban.

Gura is not a bad lawyer. He argued the Heller case after all. I think that he was as taken aback by the brick wall Scalia threw at him as much as anyone else was.
 
I am, just thankful that blanket gun bans are going to go the way of the Dodo.
