Predicting the Chicago Gun Case

Legal blogger and FantasySCOTUS proprietor Josh Blackman does the math and creates a nice post explaining which Supreme Court justice is most likely to author the majority opinion this month in the eagerly anticipated gun rights case McDonald v. Chicago. Spoiler alert: It's not John Paul Stevens.

Fantasy Scotus. What an Idea.

Can I pack the bench with cartoon characters? Daffy and Bugs, Jerry (but not Tom), Quick Draw McGraw, The Pink Panther, Frylock, Big Gay Al, Huey Freeman, and Mentok The Mindtaker.

That's too depressing a game to play, I'm afraid.

I'd like to pick a fantasy SCOTUS, populated by my idea of good jurists.

Ginsburg.

In my fantasy SCOTUS, they would all be doing something else.
