The Chicago Gun Case and Slaughterhouse

Via Alan Gura, Reason’s Brian Doherty has a look at the legal strategery:

If McDonald is won without the death of Slaughterhouse, it will still be a cheering victory for a core constitutional right. But if Gura wins the way he wants to win, he will have succeeded in creating a constitutional revolution of sorts, one with both promise and peril for keeping government power within prescribed limits.

Good luck, sir.

    Thanks for the update. The fabric of America and individual rights may well depend on how this case plays out.

    I read a pretty good analysis of this tactic at Volokh.
    From that perspective, it is highly unlikely that the Justices will accept that argument.

    I take it as incorporation is pretty-much a slam-dunk, so Guru went for the home run with his argument. Sorry for the mixed metaphors…

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
