Now that is a ruling!

Granted, the scope of this particular case is relatively narrow (possession for non-violent misdemeanants). I'll take a convincing win anytime!

Now, to broader questions...
1) How strong would the RTKBA be under the chosen method of review, compared to strict or intermediate scrutiny?
2) How likely is it that higher courts will use the method chosen here?
3) How will this case affect the precedents and interpretations used by other courts, especially given the relatively narrow scope and "under-the-radar-ness?"
