That's true. But it wouldn't help us if they took a different case where a similar ban was upheld. Knowing that, they're more likely to take a different case than Kolbe.
Well, how would an 8 person court decide which cases to hear?
I think you are overreacting.
Scalia was a great man, and a wonderful Justice. However, by the time Kolbe goes through the legal process to even get close to the Supremes, we will have a new President, and hopefully a new Justice.
Now if we get Hillary, we are not going to ever win in our lifetimes. But, if we get any Republican we will have a fighting chance, and if God calls Ginsberg home by then,we may even have a very good chance. As I understand it, her health is frail. I would love to see a conservative replace her.

My point is, and any fool could see this, that if the balance of power in the SC is Liberal, ALL gun cases lose. If the balance had been Liberal for Heller, the SC would have found that gun ownership is not an individual right. Personally, I think those justices that voted against this should be charged, tried for treason, and removed from the bench. They have surely broken their oath. Conservative justices vote for the Constitution, Liberal justices vote the party line.
An outright firearms ban would lead pretty quickly to secession and/or civil war ... my theory is that's why the are already reluctant to do so.
There will never be a 50 state firearms ban.

Total all out ban, no. Quota system of 1 purchase per year, no more the 5 total combination of hand, rifle, shot... You never know. No more than 100 rounds per firearm.
Any violation a federal offense.
Might make people nervous.
Sent from a galaxy far, far, away....
Even that won't fly in 20 states, probably 10 at most

In that scenario, I think the states that do decide to tolerate that would eventually find a way to exert their will on the ones that won't, which in my opinion is the sort of thing that led to the LAST civil war.
4-4 ties at SCOTUS leave the lower courts ruling unchanged but don't have any precedential value. So a 4-4 tie in a case in which a similar ban had been upheld in the circuit court would leave that ban in place in that circuit but wouldn't apply to any other circuit.
I see a lot of comments, mostly elsewhere, that if the R's hold up the obumber's nominee that they will suffer in the next Senate races. Most state the "elections have consequences" argument that PAA was elected twice and should get his picks. I have the same "elections have consequences" argument, however mine is that the PAA lost more seats in Congress than any previous President because in part We the People know the kinds of Justices he picks and vowed to stop anymore. America cannot accept another PAA selected Justice. Yes to Chuckie Shumer, elections have consequences and you guys do not hold the Senate for a reason. Dirty Harry is done and his rules change fiasco will hopefully come home to roost.
I also have a real hope that this will bring Conservatives out in historic numbers knowing the importance of this next election as it concerns the Supreme Court and the survival of America as we know it.
All that said, I have hope (and patience).

I hope you're right and the little lambs don't allow themselves to be led back to the slaughter ring again. Remember, in the face of bad news everywhere, the voters sent PAA back to the White House to apply a second coat of stain.
I am partially just venting my frustration with the GOP lately, but I don't 100% believe they will hold the appointment until the new President. If I had to guess ( because that's what all of us are truly only doing), we have a 60% chance of it going into next year. It's going to follow with tons of bad publicity for Republicans and the media will try to "roast" Republican front runners with it. That sad thing ? *Literally* the same democrats who are nationally complaining about it are the ones who attacked Bush as he was nearing his lame duck term. The problem is that the majority of the media outlets are Democrat/Liberal/Progressive owned.
Democrat = ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN. Not to mention New York Times, etc.
Republican = Fox News...
At the end of the day everyone in both arenas know exactly what is happening. Each party wants to appoint that justice because pushing the balance of influence in the Supreme Court is arguably more important than a Presidential election. It's parallel in important at the very least.

Rule 26. Computing and Extending Time
(a) Computing Time. The following rules apply in computing any time period specified in these rules, in any local rule or court order, or in any statute that does not specify a method of computing time.
(1) Period Stated in Days or a Longer Unit. When the period is stated in days or a longer unit of time:
(A) exclude the day of the event that triggers the period;
(B) count every day, including intermediate Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays; and
(C) include the last day of the period, but if the last day is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, the period continues to run until the end of the next day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday.
The time officially started Feb 5th so they should have until the 19th (Friday) and will likely take the full amount of time.
