(Too bad neither the Washington Post nor the New York Times is front-paging real-time coverage. There's a deluge of web traffic with nowhere to go.)
UPDATE: Here's the SCOTUSblog post. The Second Amendment case is out:
Erin: Alito announces McDonald v. Chicago: reversed and remanded
10:04
Tom: Gun rights prevail
10:05
Erin:
The opinion concludes that the 14th Amendment does incorporate the Second Amendment right recognized in Heller to keep and bear arms in self defense
10:05
Tom: 5-4
10:05
Erin: Stevens dissents for himself. Breyer dissents, joined by Ginsburg and Sotomayor.
10:05
Tom: The majority seems divided, presumably on the precise standard
10:06
Erin: The majority Justices do not support all parts of the Alito opinion, but all five agree that the 2d Amendment applies to state and local government.
10:06
Erin: Alito, in the part of the opinion joined by three Justices, concludes that the 2d Amendment is incorporated through the Due Process Clause.
10:07
Erin: Thomas thinks the Amendment is incorporated, but not under Due Process. He appears to base incorporation on Privileges or Immunities.
Tom: The difference between the majority and Justice Thomas doesn't affect the fact that the Second Amendment now applies to state and local reguation...
10:08
Erin: The McDonald opinion is here.

Holder will sue the SCOTUS right after they're done suing AZ.
Gmay
We can be sure of one thing. Its 200 pages, so Holder certainly won't read it before he denounces it.
