If you don't think I am correct on this, go read his total evisceration of the fourth amendment in his confirmation testimony. He was rejected for his stance on abortion which I believe to be correct, but he based his opposition on the same false premise that allowed Roe to become law. He was right on one issue for the wrong reason, which means he would have been wrong a great many times due to his contempt for the fourth amendment on other issues. He was rejected for the wrong reasons but that rejection was a correct decision despite its faulty basis. Bork was completely unqualified to sit on the court.

All his client wants is for him to keep his service revolver (he's a security guard) as ready to protect his own home as he keeps it ready during working hours to protect his employers. Just like Ms. Roe and Ms. Doe just wanted that "tissue" out of their bodies. To whatever extent the case is taken further than that is up to our permanent Constitutional Convention.

Since the SU is unlikely to re-visit ANY second amendment issue for many, many years, the standard could then be established in a gun friendly court of appeals. (as long as somebody foolish didn't attempt it in say, the 9th circut). The path to further restoration of gun rights is the same as the path to a win in Heller save for supreme court review.
