Agree there is a lot of meat on the bone here. Some of the language is stuff you could hear issuing from Thomas' mouth (or Scalia's were he here). It is a tough sell sometimes in discussion with folks - and not just younger ones - to get them on any BoR topic to the starting point mentioned in the decision.

It often came up in discussions years ago regarding our state's availability of open-carry:
"Well, what's the law?"
"There is no law."
"Well, then you can't do that."
"Sit down, have some more coffee & let me explain about 'that which isn't prohibited is permitted'."

I don't think SCOTUS should take this; I hope they just b-slap CA and send it back affirming the decision.
