161. GEJ, now you get it -- McDonald and Heller are similar in structure to Miller.

That's how justices get around so-called precedent -- they come up with some BS that supposedly "distinguishes" the seemingly opposite view in the current case from the so-called precedent.

It will happen with McDonald and Heller, sure as shit. Next time, there may be another judge to join the minority opinion in McDonald and Heller. Or, Heck, maybe one of the justices change their opinion see something, read something, shoot himself in the foot, who knows. But, one of them might suddenly say, "this right wing NRA gun stuff is BS."
