We’ll know real quick who the holdout was on the Heller majority.
Don't we pretty much know already? I'm betting that Kennedy reluctantly went along with the conservatives on Hellerwhen Scalia agreed to put in the language we all criticize about "long-standing prohibitions." He had no problem applying the 2nd Amendment to the states in McDonald but probably informed his colleagues he'd balk at applying the 2nd Amendment outside the home.

In any event, it'll be interesting to see. Roberts may well assume Kennedy's role as the reluctant 2nd Amendment supporter.

Violence is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and valorous feeling which believes that nothing is worth violence is much worse.
