"Ruling on Guns Elicits Rebuke From the Right"

"Ruling on Guns Elicits Rebuke From the Right": Today in The New York Times, Adam Liptak has an article that begins, "Four months after the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual right to possess guns, its decision is under assault -- from the right. Two prominent federal appeals court judges say that Justice Antonin Scalia's majority opinion in the case, District of Columbia v. Heller, is illegitimate, activist, poorly reasoned and fueled by politics rather than principle."

The two examples of written criticism that are the subject of the article can be accessed here and here.

As noted in this "How Appealing" post from September 27, 2008, Mark Sherman of The Associated Press that day had an article headlined "Conservative judges fault Scalia opinion on guns."
