Sotomayor gets boost from two conservative judges

Judge Sotomayor wants to take our guns away! Lock up the stash! Hide the buckshot!

Wait. What's that I hear? Well, lookee here NRA and the half-cocked (pun intended) Rushpublic Party of Blockage: A 7th Circuit ruling backed Chicago gun restrictions, and gave a little boosteroony to the Sotomayor nomination in the process. Two conservative-- yes, two; yes, conservative-- judges ruled the way she did":

Judge Sonia Sotomayor’s best defense against firearms owners mobilizing to oppose her U.S. Supreme Court nomination may come from an unlikely source: two top conservatives on the federal bench.
Sotomayor was labeled “anti-gun” by Gun Owners of America for refusing to extend to the states the U.S. Supreme Court’s 2008 decision overturning a Washington, D.C., handgun ban. The group said a January ruling by a three-judge panel that included Sotomayor displayed “pure judicial arrogance” for declining to throw out a New York state weapons law.

Today, Richard Posner and Frank Easterbrook, appointed to the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago by President Ronald Reagan, took the same hands-off as Sotomayor.

They joined a 3-0 ruling that upheld weapons ordinances in Chicago and suburban Oak Park, Illinois, and rejected challenges by gun rights advocates.
