Default Chalk one up for the good guys. Gun ban unconstitutional.

Do you see the slight-of-hand? Silberman reversed the ruling of the
lower court. He did not exactly say the D.C. gun ban was
unconstitutional. He just stated in his opinion that the dismissal of
the original complaint was invalid for the specific reasons given. He
did not state it was invalid for all reasons. So, that does not
necessary make the law itself unconstitutional.


I guess you didn't read down to the part that says "As such, we hold
it
unconstitutional."


We hold "it" unconstitutional. Ask yourself, Dave, just does "it" refer
to in this case.
"It" does not refer to the law itself. "It" refers to the lower courts
interpretation.
Duh! (sorry Ellen, but it applies here so well)

Every time you open your mouth you demonstrate you learned NOTHING in
law school. Is that why you're just a two-bit slip-and-fall lawyer?
