Bloodless Coup

Guns, Foreign Courts and the US Supremes

This ruling is just the kind of thing that must send the results-oriented activists on both the left and right screaming about how "their" justices could do such a thing. In Small, if you only look at the results and not the legal reasoning, and c'mon, we know that results are what the evangelical right and the anti-gun folks are most focused on, not constitutional interpretation - O'Connor, Souter, Ginsburg, Stevens and Breyer are pro-gun rights, with Thomas, Kennedy and Scalia opposed to them. And not only that, those last three argue that official government policies should be dependent on the findings of courts outside the United States! Whatever must Bill Frist, Tony Perkins and the rest of that crew be thinking.
