Well times up.
For those whom do not know, SCOTUS only announces on Monday's and the next one coming up is the last one of the session.
McDonald vs Chicago shall be announced!
I hope they avoid weasel words like "reasonable" like they did with Heller but who knows. I think it is likely that we can all toast another victory, but nuttier things have happened.
I do believe that they handed down 7 slip opinions today Thursday June 24, 2010 according to this.

You are correct, I should have worded that as "they typically in recent years have been prone to releasing major and far reaching opinions on Mondays while not all of them happen this way and the general perception of most has been that if they did not release the opinion early in June, there was a very real thought that they would indeed do it on the last day of the session which is Monday"
Despite my lack of clarity, I remain excited and hopeful as I see it as a HUGE win for my friends across the river, not to mention a huge prevention step for the rest of us in the future.
I actually do wish that they would in fact say 'we are done debating this issue and the right shall in no way be infringed and all laws associated with obtaining, possessing, and carrying of firearms are immediately struck down and only the actual use of a firearm may be regulated in any manner.
If they did that, I would be satisfied 100%. Since they likely won't, you will have to live with me saying things slightly incorrect and at times not supporting that view through poor wording etc. I can live with it if you can as I hope we have that same goal.
