Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan says that two recent Second Amendment cases are now “settled law” and that she will follow them if she is confirmed as a justice.
Her views on the two cases — District of Columbia v. Heller and the more recent McDonald v. City of Chicago — came during Sen. Chuck Grassley’s (R-Iowa) 30-minute question session. She declined to give her personal views on the Second Amendment, which gun rights proponents believe ensures a right to bear arms, but insisted the two cases were “good precedent going forward.”
“I will follow stare decisis with regard to Heller and McDonald, as I would in any case,” she said.
