Linda Greenhouse for the New York Times calls this Scalia's most important case ever.
Justice Antonin Scalia’s majority opinion, his most important in his 22 years on the court, said that the justices were “aware of the problem of handgun violence in this country” and “take seriously” the arguments in favor of prohibiting handgun ownership.
She's probably right.
One thing I'm still wondering, what about the legal fees for the case? Will the district court entertain the fee motion, or how does that work?
The list of towns that have backed down from gun bans in the last few days include Wilmette IL and Morton Grove IL, but not DC.
