A Small Victory

Like most people over the age of 20 or so, I generally expect the American Judiciary to be largely composed of power-mad imbeciles. I offer as evidence the 9th Circuit Court, SCOTUS blemish Ruth Bader Ginsberg, and such historical nitwits as Federal Judge John Nixon in Nashville, SCOTUS blights Blackmun, Brennan, Souter, Douglas, as well as lesser-known others like Bradford Timbers of PA.
.
So it came as a shock and surprise to learn that an appellate court, in this case the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit in Washington, has, quite correctly, upheld the validity of the Constitution, in particular the 2nd Amendment thereto. And said that, no, the blatherskites mis-ruling the DC area, really do not have the authority to ban handguns within the district. I am indeed surprised. But you can go read it for yourself.
Read Federal Appeals Court Strikes Down D.C. Handgun Ban at Bloomberg. com.
This could go to extra innings.
