Some Great Heller/DC Reading For Your Weekend

Updated: Friday, Feb. 8, 2008, 2:18 pm -- A majority of Congress signing onto the argument that DC firearms owners have an individual right to keep a handgun. It comes in a brief filed with the Supreme Court.

All worth sitting down on a snowy day, or sunny if you are among the lucky few in the nation, and reading.

- A second congressional amicus brief is incoming, this one supporting the individual right contention of Heller. There was a earlier brief filed from congressional legislators supporting DC's ban argument. I'm intrigued. Supposedly, more democrats from both the House and Senate are signing onto the individual rights argument.

- SCOTUSBLOG has links to all of the early amicus briefs filed in support of the respondent, Mr. Heller. More are coming.

- Several law-related blogs have write-ups on District of Columbia v. Heller. Check out the arguments, pro and con, from Balkinization, Sentencing Law & Policy, and Leibowitz's Canticle.

- Washington Post story on the pro-individual rights argument in Heller.
