I was reading this article in today’s Washington Post, when this sentence jumped out at me:

He laments the low rankings the District gets on surveys about quality of business environment, for example, and he hailed the U.S. Supreme Court's gutting of local gun control laws.

The author could just have easily characterized the D.C. v. Heller decision as the Supreme Court’s “upholding of Second Amendment rights,” but too many journalists just don’t think that way.
