—Example: I was looking for examples of "Democrat nominees" who fit both of your other stated conditions. Based on your cases cited, can I take it that you mean specifically Ruth Bader Ginsburg?

Don't think Kagan's made a specific ruling on the 2nd Amendment, but the rest of them all have (and I rather doubt she'll buck the trend).  And I probably should have said liberal instead of Democrat nominee.

I'm looking at the opinions you cited, but it might take me a while.  In the meantime, here are some of my preliminary thoughts: 
—What I'm seeing so far in the McDonald dissent seems more focused on the 14th amendment than the 2nd.  Are you just criticizing them for being inconsistent in their level of enthusiasm in applying the 14th amendment to things?  Or are you actually focused on the 2nd amendment as such? 
—Going back to when you say, "squint and find a right [to] an abortion", I don't want to put words in your mouth but it sounds like you may think that the constitution when properly read should not guarantee the right to an abortion or at least not where Roe v. Wade found such protection.  Could you elaborate on your thoughts on this issue? 

If you'd rather wait until I've finished reading, feel free to do so.  Although the second question doesn't seem likely to be affected by what I find here.

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
