The only cases that the USSC considers are those that have Constitutional issues. That's it. That's all they do. That's why they are paid the big bucks. If a case does not have a Constitutional issue the Court will reject it; they will not hear the case. They refuse to. It's not their job unless it's a Constitutional issue. The "issue" in US v. Miller was not a "shotgun". A shotgun is not a Constitutional issue. The issue was whether a sawed off shotgun was an arm that was afforded protection under the 2nd amendment. The Court ruled that it was not. The Court, in it's opinion spoke at great length about the 2nd amendment and the historic precedence; they did not speak at great length about shotguns. Do you think that Plessy v. Fergusan was about railroad cars? jttmab
