Incorporation Again

In case you're still not clear what all this talk in the hearings today is about "incorporation," check out my previous posts on the matter. Bottom line is that it's the way the Court has decided whether to force states to respect our rights as U.S. citizens, and it is coming up primarily in regard to the Second Amendment and the court's recent decision in DC v. Heller, which recognized a federal (but not state) right to keep and bear arms.
