McD vs Chicago -- found my new tag line...

[ELB]

Just noticed this on page 5, line 3, of the transcript:

Gura: Justice Sotomayor, States may have grown accustomed to violating the rights of American citizens, but that does not bootstrap those violations into something that is constitutional.

ZING.

He probably wasn't counting on her vote anyway...

I also liked this one:

CHIEF JUSTICE ROBERTS: "That sounds an awful lot to me like the argument we heard in Heller on the losing side."

in response to Chicago saying that the purpose of the second amendment was "to protect the militia against being disarmed by the Federal Government."

I keep wondering, do they really believe that? Is that their starting point? Or is "guns are bad" their starting point, and they create the militia argument to sound intellectual?
