Heh. 🙂

Well, if it gets overturned on the basis over preemption, I’ll be mildly surprised, but not shocked to my very core. I regard the preemption argument as wrong but tenable.

If it’s overturned because of some Equal Protection-type claim, I will humbly and sincerely eat helping after helping of crow.

And what about the reverse scenario – the law is sustained, and doesn’t produce substantially more claims of racial profiling than existed beforehand?

Will the opponents step up with some, “I was wrong,” statements?
