[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 2885972, member: 796"] Here's what the different actions mean: 1. Decline to hear case = lower court decision stands 2. 4 to 4 tie in SCOTUS = lower court decision stands 3. Majority votes to sustain = lower court decision stands 4. Majority votes to overturn = changes lower court ruling The next person appointed will make it 9 members, but for now we can have ties, and FOUR of the present members voted AGAINST HELLER (5 TO 4). So for now, ANY anti-gun legislation approved by a lower court is going to STAND. The SCOTUS for the present is no protection for the 2A, because half the present members believe it DOES NOT APPLY TO INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS, and if you listen to them on CSPAN when they visit law schools, they have clearly said that is what they believe. To say the next appointment is critical to protection of the 2A is a gross understatement. If Hilly becomes prez and makes an appointment to SCOTUS, the 2A will be ruled not to apply to individuals, and what you and I and 100 million other people believe will not mean squat. [/QUOTE]
