Over at Cato@Liberty, Ilya Shapiro offers his early assessment of a United States Supreme Court case correctly applying the Second Amendment to the states. See, Ilya Shapiro on McDonald v. City of Chicago: “The Court Restores a Fundamental Right.”
He’s right to note how close this decision was, and how unfortunate and unsettling it is that four justices would decline to apply one of the amendments of the Bill of Rights to state and local governments.
All the Bill of Rights, to all the states, should be the commitment of all those supporting the rule of law.
