I’m sure after the rough three days or so that Obama has had, he’s eager to get back to the issues. Very well, Senator.

Obama, on the D.C. gun ban, back on April 25:

Chicago Sun-Times interviewer: But you don’t want to take a stand on the D.C. gun-ban law?
Barack Obama: I don’t like taking a stand on pending cases.

Obama, yesterday:

He referenced his decision to file an amicus brief when Indiana’s voter ID law was first challenged, saying he did it because he believed that ‘it places an unfair burden on Indiana residents who are poor, elderly, disabled, or members of minority groups.’

So… Senator Obama doesn’t like taking a stand on pending cases… except the ones where he files an amicus brief, taking a stand on a pending case.
