Sotomayor Supports Gun Control Despite Heller Decision

Liberty loving Americans celebrated last year when the United States Supreme Court ruled in Heller vs. DC that the Second Amendment guarantee of the right to keep and bear arms was superior to federal, state and local legislation which might infringe upon that right.

"So what", Obama's pick for the Supreme Court seemed to be saying when she signed off on an opinion rendered after the Heller case affirming the right of the state of New York to outlaw possession of certain weapons saying:

“We will uphold legislation if we can identify some reasonably conceived state of facts that could provide a rational basis for the legislative action." [h/t Dave Hatter]

Understandably those with an interest in protecting the constitution from judicial activism are beginning to express significant worries about Obama's nomination.  In the days to come, as more is revealed about Sotomayor, quite frankly, more will be revealed about Obama himself.
