Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

Juneteenth would be an excellent day to get an "individual rights" ruling and start disassembling some gun laws (those who know who gun control targeted first will get the point....  grin )

Technically, of course, the earliest gun control targeted Jews:

Not a blacksmith could be found in the whole land of Israel, because the Philistines had said, Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears! So all Israel went down to the Philistines to have their plowshares, mattocks, axes and sickles sharpened. The price was two thirds of a shekel for sharpening plowshares and mattocks, and a third of a shekel for sharpening forks and axes and for repointing goads. So on the day of the battle not a soldier with Saul and Jonathan had a sword or spear in his hand; only Saul and his son Jonathan had them.

But Seeker Two is right as well.

No Heller today.  They are done releasing opinions.

A decision is expected by the end of June.  But yea, SCOTUS can basically issue it whenever they please.

"The Court has announced that it will release opinions against at 10am Wednesday.   Because seven opinions remain, it will almost certainly have one additional day.   Based on past practice, that day likely will be Thursday."

Scalia writing Heller.

What's the view on that?

Good or bad?

I assume "writing Heller" is fancy speak for ruling in his favor?  So they'll rule individual right?

Alls I know is the anchor said they were monitoring it and if they got a ruling they'd pass it on.  Maybe they jumpe dthe gun or maybe they're optimistic or something.
