SCOTUS was meeting in conference (not open to the public) to discuss which cases that they would be accepting for the coming term. They were supposedly going to be discussing which of the three 2nd Amendment cases (or combinations thereof) that they would hear. Hopefully, the results of that conference will be released today. Nothing so far from the usual sources. Keep your fingers crossed.

We have a lot resting on these issues. Let us hope for good cases to be accepted and great decisions to be handed down.

Details: Supreme Court And 2a
WASHINGTON — The U.S. Supreme Court announced Wednesday it will return to the controversy over individual gun rights by hearing an appeal from a group of firearms owners in Chicago.
They are challenging a lower appeals court ruling that said the Second Amendment guarantees an individual right to guns only in the face of federal regulation, not against state and municipal restrictions. Included among 10 new disputes the justices added to their calendar Wednesday for the upcoming 2009-10 term, which begins next Monday, the guns case brings the court back to a sensational topic that pits uniquely American notions of frontier liberty against contemporary worries over urban violence. When the justices heard a case on the subject in March 2008, people began lining up in front of the court's columned building two days early for a seat. The new dispute began in Chicago, which has a handgun ban similar to a Washington, D.C., ordinance that the Supreme Court struck down in June 2008 as a violation of the Second Amendment. In the 2008 case, District of Columbia v. Heller, the Supreme Court for the first time declared an individual right to firearms for self-defense and rejected a prevailing lower court view that the Second Amendment applied only to state "militia," such as National Guard units. But the 5-4 decision left open a crucial question that could have more practical consequences for gun owners and for the states that would regulate them: Does the Second Amendment apply to the states and localities as it does to federal jurisdiction of Washington, D.C.?

If the second amendment does not apply to states and localities then I guess the others shouldn't as well.

Hey, watch it! CW is my favorite mode. Only problem is that I don't have a station set up right now, apart from mobile VHF & HT. Pound that brass, OM!
Ok, now back to topic. What happened on Beck?
