8th anniversary of McDonald v. Chicago

Posted by David Hardy · 28 June 2018 08:44 AM

Today is the 8th anniversary... The closeness in timing to Heller is not a coincidence. The Supreme Court releases controversial decisions late in each Term, the Term beginning in early October and usually lasting until late June. Both Heller and McDonald were released on the last day of each Term (I think each was the very last opinion released).

The custom isn't recent. Dred Scott, 1857, was the last opinion of its Term.

I ordered a flag to be flown over the Capital on the day McDonald was released. I now display it with pride.
