77 pages, single-sided, double-spaced. Enjoy.
Scalia seems to be telling the lawyers to ask the USSC to "incorporate" the 2nd amendment using the "due process" clause of the 14th amendment, rather than the "privileges and immunities" clause... because that would be "easier".
WTF???
Since when do court judges or justices base their decisions on what's "easier"???
Maybe Scalia is trying to tell the guy, "Look, you might lose the case if you insist on the P&I clause, so go with the DP clause instead so we can put these liberal judges to bed on the issue of Incorporation. Get it???"
Maybe.
