So, while one argument for cert is "diminished," the question of revisiting Slaughterhouse is still relevant.

There's a great deal of political pressure to get this issue heard. Thomas, Scalia and Kennedy all voiced a desire to visit the question of incorporation following the Heller decision. I don't think this tanks our chances.

Why wouldn't we? It's important and relevant, and I for one thank you for posting it.
