Keeping Pandora’s Box Sealed, which I co-authored with Ilya Shapiro, was cited by Judge Sykes in Ezell v. Chicago (analysis here) in Footnote 11 on Page 30.

Above the line:

Setting aside the ongoing debate about which part of the Fourteenth Amendment does the work of incorporation, and how, see id. at 3030‐31 (plurality opinion of Alito, J.); id. at 3058‐80 (Thomas, J., concurring); id. at 3089‐99 (Stevens, J., dissenting); id. at 3120‐21 (Breyer, J., dissenting), this wider historical lens is required if we are to follow the Court’s lead in resolving questions about the scope of the Second Amendment by consulting its original public meaning as both a starting point and an important constraint on the analysis. See Heller, 554 U.S. at 610‐19; McDonald, 130 S. Ct. at 3038‐ 42.11

Below the line:

My last name is not spelled “Blackmun” (I get that a lot, not surprisingly, but I’ll take it!). I am still freaking out to be in the same footnote as (gasp) Akhil and Randy! Epic win.
