Obama and Recent Court Decisions

Yesterday, the Supreme Court ruled that child rapists could not be put to death. Barack Obama came out and said that he basically disagreed with the court, saying that child rape could be considered a capital offense. Today, the DC gun ban was overturned by the Court, and Obama came out and said he believed gun ownership was an “individual right” which is an interesting migration from what he has said in the past. The latest rulings and Obama’s subsequent comments may indicate he’s going strong for the center vote.

Update: Time has a similar take.
