Sneaking up on Incorporation
Posted: Mon Apr 20, 2009 4:09 pm
Post-Heller, the cry arose for Incorporation of the 2nd Amendment, to clarify that it did indeed impose restrictions on State and local government.
It seems a couple of recent cases recognize the 2nd and being incorporated, mostly as a "By the way" rather than a thunderclap like Heller.
This is written by attorneys for a similar audience:
Second Amendment Incorporated by Ninth Circuit Panel, in Nordyke v. King. For those who count such things, the unanimous panel consists of a Reagan appointee (Judge O'Scannlain, who wrote), a Carter appointee (Judge Alarcon), and a Clinton appointee (Judge Gould).
