    Reading the petitioners' and their amicis' briefs, they all come down claims of expediency: "We need this law because statistics show that so-and-so many people are victims of gun violence..." And then they also throw in tortured sentence parsing and re-interpretation. Neither of those things are legally persuasive. I hope.

        False is the idea of utility that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns, and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for evils except destruction. The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.

          Look at the tyranny of party -- at what is called party allegiance, party loyalty -- a snare invented by designing men for selfish purposes -- and which turns voters into chattles, slaves, rabbits, and all the while their masters, and they themselves are shouting rubbish about liberty, independence, freedom of opinion, freedom of speech, honestly unconscious of the fantastic contradiction...

            Could be taken another way...Maybe wanting to hear the anti-gunners side more means that they have more work to do convincing the justices.

            The other thing is maybe it's standard to give the current administration time in SCOTUS cases if they want it. I don't know...just a thought.

              I dont think this is really a big deal. I think its actually a good thing for us. I think it speaks of the strength of our position, and that SCOTUS feels D.C.'s brief is weak enough to necessitate additional time to make a case based on their position.

              EDIT: also... as I understand it, SCOTUS rarely appears BLATANTLY one-sided or unfair in any procedural matter. There is a reason for this, which will be apparent soon me thinks.

                I hope you guys are right about this. I would of denied US Solicitor General's request. Putting fear, or politics in law, not good.

                  On the face of it, I'd go with this interpretation. Of course that's what I want to believe, too.
