Heller allows the bearing of arms.....which arms is now the question.
Not so. Heller clearly defines that if it is not a full auto, and if it is a type of firearm that people commonly own and use for self-defense, it has 2A protection.

I'm sure that the Clintonistas in Obama's cabinet are working hard on a measure that will circumvent Heller.
Without a doubt.

Even if found later to be unconstitutional, once you've lost something, you'll never, ever get it back!
Again, not so. Case in point: The Second Amendment was absolutely dead as a door knocker in most of the US prior to Heller. Most people just didn't know about it. Most of the Circuit Courts in the US had ruled it a "collective right" or a "sophisticated collective right". All courts inferior to them were bound by those decisions. Heller was a great rebirth of personal freedom. If we get incorporation of Heller via the Privileges and Immunities Clause, it will be an even greater landmark in personal freedom.

This is not about 'what's best for the people'....this is about power, pure and simple, ......and keeping it!
Of course it is. Obama is incredibly uninformed about many things, and is so arrogant that he doesn't care. He's a raving megalomaniac. We are very quickly going to be exceedingly sorry that he got elected. His agenda is all about control, personal power and agrandizement.

Key media support has already visibly eroded.

I'm not sure what channels you're watching, but I'm certainly not seeing it eroding.....if anything, I see him gaining support
A couple of nights ago, my wife and I were flipping back and forth between Letterman and Leno. One had Donald Trump soundly blasting Obama's economic plan, and the other had Ariana Huffington also soundly blasting him. If a Democrat president can't get support from Ariana Huffington, it's a little like the Pope being unable to get support from the Vatican web site. Both hosts were agreeing with their guests. Such a display would have been unthinkable a few weeks ago. No, key support is eroding quickly. CNN and MSNBC will keep up the party line for a long time, but others are becoming disaffected.

Have a little faith. We will lose some ground for a while. Work like heck to protect what you can.

Heck, Dick Morris is predicting that things will shortly be so bad that we will get a Republican Congress in 2010. Don't know if he's right, but he's a pretty perceptive guy. That result would not surprise me in the least.

When I posted, I hadn't seen this: Senate votes 62-36 to override DC gun laws, and much of the credit goes to... may I have the envelope please... Eric Holder's unwise public comments.
