IMHO, the recent Supreme Court opinion, called District of Columbia et al. v. Heller was a real Dusy, as they used to say. A case of first impression of an enumerated Constitutional right - you won't see another one like this ever. It is an opinion in which you need to read every sentence, and the dissents. This ain't over...

My personal favorite out-take:

"The very enumeration of the right takes out of the hands of governmentâ??even the Third Branch of Governmentâ??the power to decide on a case-by-case basis whether the right is really worth insisting upon."

Great stuff.
