Democratic Sen. Mark Udall of Colorado said Sotomayor told him during a private meeting that she considers the 2008 ruling that struck down a Washington, D.C., handgun ban as settled law that would guide her decisions in future cases. In District of Columbia v. Heller, the Supreme Court held that individuals have a constitutional right to guns.

"Clearly she spoke to the fact that settled law is just that, and the Heller case has been considered by the court, and she sees that as the law, and she will work off of what the court decided as other cases may come to the court's attention," Udall said.

Sotomayor and her ilk on the 2nd Circuit were just overturned in the Conn. firefighters' case. More here:

Let's hope this seals her fate and she is not confirmed. Damage control is probably already underway, probably with Schumer leading the way.
