Argument analysis: Court appears ready to rule that Constitution’s bar on excessive fines applies to the states.

this is a landmark case either way it goes. incorporation doctrine is a key issue of what the constitution means. and it's about indiana - white guys on drugs are so many of my neighbors here on e washington street, the national road as it passes thru indy. and it's by the institute for justice which has been waging a campaign to bring economic rights under the constitution. i am a rabid fan of ij so my coverage is biased. this is not an election law case, but it could affect, for example, california's excessive fines for disclaimers, disclosures, etc.

i may update later with links to local coverage.
