Welcome to The Senate Site

On Washington Post's D.C. Wire:

The U.S. Supreme Court today did not release its long-awaited ruling on whether the District's handgun ban violates the Second Amendment. That means the potentially landmark decision will almost certainly come tomorrow morning when the court is planning to issue the last of its rulings for the term. The case, District of Columbia v. Heller, which was argued nearly four months ago, could settle the decades-old debate over whether the Second Amendment grants individuals the right to own firearms.

Utah's Constitution - BTW - is pretty clear on the "individual right" question.


[Thursday morning update:] Here's the decision.

In fact, the entire Declaration of Rights is an interesting read. Inspiring, even.
