Today the US Supreme Court issued its ruling in McDonald v. Chicago, and affirmatively established the 2nd Amendment as a fundamental right incorporated to the states through the 14th Amendment.
Over the next few weeks I will be surveying and commenting on the fallout, which promises to be substantial. For now, I would direct you to this early commentary by Ilya Shapiro on Akin Gump’s SCOTUS Blog. Shapiro correctly points out that the Court arrived at the right conclusion, but took the wrong path. It would have been preferrable for the Court to rule on the basis of the Privileges and Immunities clause, but they wimped out and ruled on the Due Process clause. Only Justice Thomas, in his concurring opinion, made the case for the obvious.
Nonetheless, today the right to keep and bear arms was affirmed as fundamental to our established notion of a free and ordered society. Today is a good day for liberty!
