Congrats Joe! Congrats to all of you who have worked to see that the 2nd Amend. gets it proper interpretation from the S.Ct. (Just wish they hadn't been so wishy-washy on the standard of review).
From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Joseph E. Olson Sent: Friday, June 27, 2008 1:46 AM To: List Firearms Reg Subject: Hamline law professor's article cited in landmark US Supreme Court opinion. A recent article by Hamline University School of Law Professor Joseph Olson (and historian Clayton Cramer) was cited favorably in the U.S. Supreme Court majority opinion in District of Columbia v. Heller which held the D.C. gun bans to be unconstitutional. "What Did "Bear Arms" Mean in the Second Amendment?", 6 Georgetown Journal of Law & Public Policy 511 (Summer 2008) is cited [in its forthcoming version] by Justice Scalia on page 15 of the Supreme Court's opinion. In addition, footnotes 7 and 9 refer to a number of items that first appear in print in the Cramer/Olson article. And, on page 38, the opinion cites Johnson v. Tompkins (CC Pa. 1833), a case that this paper first brought into the RKBA discussion. ************************************************** Professor Joseph Olson, J.D., LL.M. o- 651-523-2142 Hamline University School of Law (MS-D2037) f- 651-523-2236 St. Paul, MN 55113-1235 c- 612-865-7956 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
