At first I agreed, but then it kinda scared me. The vote was 5-4. That means we came oh so close to having a specified inalienable right denied by the court. Had there been one more Souter, Ginsburg, Stevens, or Breyer on the court today, the 2nd Amendment would have been repealed.

This loudly demonstrates the importance of the presidential election. You may disagree with McCain's take on border enforcement or ANWR drilling or campaign financing or any other issues, but remember that if he were POTUS and the situation arose, he would nominate justices similar to Roberts and Alito. Obama voted against both and wants a more empathetic, activist court. Expect a junior Ginsburg or Breyer.
