So far they all seem to be leaning towards the "2AM is a real individual right". The differences seem to be over what restrictions can be placed on that right.
The Bush Administration's official representative - you know, the gun-loving GOP - is coming out in favor of a triangulated position that would do the Senator from New York proud. Yes, it'a an individual right. But no, the ban should stay as it is a perfectly reasonable restriction.
As for the Constitution applying to individuals, even a stopped clock is right twice a day. Clarence "Uncle" Thomas never opens his mouth and does whatever Scalia tells him. He and his massa have already declared themselves unfit to be on the Court by stating that the Bible (as opposed to the Constitution) is the highest authority and that the government gets its fundamental authority from G-d rather than the consent of the governed. They are violating their oaths every day they sit there.
Bush's wholly-owned Court has worked consistently against the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth Ammendments, defecated on the idea othe Separation of Powers and engaged in the most blatant conflicts of interest I have ever heard of on the High Court. Scalia refused to recuse himself in a case involving personal friends and one in which a relative was making arguments before the Court.
But it doesn't matter. As long as they say the "correct" things about guns they're sticking up for the Constitution.
Color me unimpressed.
