Perusing Today’s Supreme Court Arguements

In today’s arguements in the Heller case, I saw something interesting:

JUSTICE GINSBURG: — short of that, just to get your position clear, short of reactivating State militias, on your reading does the Second Amendment have any effect today as a restraint on legislation?

It appears that the USSC does not see the National Guard or the Reserves as being militia as it refers to the Second Amendment. I’ll probably have more comments later.
