Personally, I believe that this was an attempt by the Justice Department to derail Emerson vs. The United States before it's heard by the Supreme Court.

Notice that the attorney for the US Government told the USSC 'Hey, no need to rush to judgement. Never mind that we changed our opinion. These aren't the droids you're looking for...'.

I'd rather hear the United State's Supreme Court's opinion on the Second Amendment rather than John Ashcroft's, thank you very much.

Yeah, more smoke and mirrors.

Its unlikely that you will get a Supreme Court opinion on the Second Amendment in the Emerson case, the 5th Circuit gave the US S.Ct. an out to affirm their ruling without ruling on the Second Amendment claim.
