The Heller decision was strained at best. It required the five votes of a narrowly-conservative court -- a situation that may not be long lasting. More to the point, Heller overturned earlier rulings of Federal courts in several jurisdictions, and, when done by the thinnest of margins, is susceptible to reexamination almost by definition. Roe v. Wade, the most popular bugaboo on the right, was decided 7-2, and probably stands for that reason alone.
