It’s Not Just Arguing for a Win: It’s Arguing for a Revolution

That his how Orin Kerr describes the Petitioner's brief in McDonald v. City of Chicago. I had the chance to see Petitioner's Counsel, Alan Gura, speak last week about McDonald and the Privileges or Immunities clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and if he is successful, we could indeed be in for an Originalist Revolution. Gura's brief can be found here.

Ilya Shapiro, of the Cato Institute, has more here. SCOTUSblog has a long write-up on the brief as well, here.
