Supremes schedule Chicago gun ban oral arguments

From CBS News:
The U.S. Supreme Court has set a date to hear the landmark civil liberties case that will determine whether the Second Amendment prohibits state and local governments from enacting stiff anti-gun laws.

Oral arguments in the lawsuit, McDonald v. City of Chicago, will be held on the morning of March 2, 2010. A decision is expected by late June or early July. [emphasis added]

It's also worth noting the amicus briefs that have been filed in the last week or so in support of the Second Amendment Foundation and other groups challenging Chicago's handgun restrictions.

Read it here. Hopefully the Court will release the audio of the oral arguments shortly after their completion, as it did last year with Heller. You can read the various amicus briefs here.
