My takeaway from the article was that deal making makes predictions on the outcome that much more difficult.
I would disagree that he seems lost on the practicalities of gun control law. He is simply pointing out some of the issues the court needs to address.
His quote of Kagan is not absurd. It remains an issue and it is unclear how the court will deal with the issue.
I suspect that Kagan would find the law constitutional because there is no right to concealed carry and justify that conclusion based on history.
Given the wheeling and dealing that may occur, I would not dismiss other's view because they may impact the opinion that is ultimately written.
I disagree. Kagan already has her mind made up. she doesn't even support Heller. it is one of several fallacies arguments used by Blackman. it is idiotic of him to include it as if it is meaningful.
This entire case depends on concerns for court packing and the ability/interest of the five to the right of Roberts.
And we knew how Roberts will go, since he was excoriated by his colleagues last year for signaling that not the merits, but who forced his hand, would determine his vote on the cases last year.
