Posted by David Kopel: New podcasts on Second Amendment issues: http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2009_08_02-2009_08_08.shtml#1249689292
Late last month, I taped a couple new podcasts for the Independence Institute's [1]iVoices.org: One is on the [2]Thune Amendment, to create national concealed carry reciprocity; the bill fell a little bit short of the number of votes needed to beat a filubust. The other is on my Senate Judiciary Committee testimony against the nomination of [3]Sonia Sotomayor. On another topic...as has previously been noted on the VC, a concurring opinion by Judge Tymkovich in a recent Tenth Circuit case, [4]United States v. McCane, suggests that the constitutionality of the absolute ban on firearms possession by all convicted felons should be re-examined by the Supreme Court. The opinion cites my article, [5]The Second Amendment in the Tenth Circuit: Three Decades of (Mostly) Harmless Error, 86 Denv. U. L. Rev. 901(2009), which was part of the DU L Rev's annual Tenth Circuit Symposium.
