Regardless of how you shake it or bake it, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is a major force for liberal change to our fundamental Constitutional rights. They don't appear to have any indication or reason to waver from this course.

But it's not the 9th circuit that will make the next move, it's out of their hands now, rather it will be the Supreme Court of the United States. Four of the Justices thereof can decide to hear the case.

Had the 9th Circus handled it properly, it would be exactly where it should be - in some liberal's wetdream.

There's another case in the hopper on the Second Amendment issue - Nordyke v. King. It has to do with a ban on possession of firearms on county property, with the express intent of putting Russ & Sally Nordyke, the gun show promoters, out of business.

The petition for rehearing en banc was filed on April 1, and Alameda County has until June 1 to file a reply brief. The fact that they gave the county a chance to submit a reply brief, instead of summarily denying the petition, suggests that the court is seriously considering the possibility of granting the en banc review.
