Awesome critique and deconstruction of the Stephens dissent in Heller v DC
Found this deconstruction of the dissenting opinion in DC v Heller.
The attorney that wrote this really tears into the Stephens dissent, all backed up with historical fact. With a decision in McDonald v Chicago expected sometime around the anniversary of Heller, this guys timing is impeccable, considering the opposing justices are almost certain to use the same mental gymnastics and specious reasoning as they tried to in Heller.
Here's a snippet from the end of the article
"...demonstrably, clearly, and repeatedly wrong, with errors that could best
be attributed to carelessness approaching arrogance and at worse to
indifference because the conclusion was predetermined."
Enjoy.......................

Methinks that :
a>) Mr. Hardy knows well his way around a law library, and
b>) Mr. Hardy is a good person to have on our side, and
c.>) Justice Stevens must have used the PAFOA search function for his research."...a REPUBLIC, if you can keep it."

Re: Awsome critique and deconstruction of the Stephens dissent in Heller v DC
I read the critique last night before going to bed and I started wondering. Did Stephens put any effort into his dissent or did he have a bunch of 4th graders research this stuff instead?
Oh, and SotR, you misspelled awesome in the thread title

Thanks for the link. Long but interesting analysis. Really quite scary to think how close the decision was...
