If the Supreme Court, in this dicta, meant its holding to extend beyond home possession, it will need to say so more plainly.
Part of me wonders if that's encouragement rather than insubordination.

Consider the oral arguments in McDonald v. Chicago when it was before the 7th Circuit (partial transcript here), and how eager Easterbrook seemed to be kicking the case up the ladder to the Supreme Court.

In any case, I still think the Woollard case is a much better candidate if we're going to bump the matter up to the big nine.
