The lamestream media told you:

The mayor of Washington, D.C. has hired an expensive law firm at taxpayer expense to fight against residents who seek to regain their right to keep and bear arms. That right is being challenged in the "Parker" case and may go to the Supreme Court.

The Uninvited Ombudsman notes however that:

Activists should be aware that as the "Parker" case heads to appeal at the Supreme Court, it may no longer be the "Parker" case. The pleading for certiorari will be titled "District of Columbia v. Heller" another of the original plaintiffs.

Asked why the change was made, an insider with knowledge of the case suggests, "D.C. has switched to Heller probably because Parker is an African-American female and Heller is a less sympathetic figure as a white male. Our side will probably keep the name Parker when responding to the D.C. cert petition, and ultimately, it'll be up to the Supremes."

Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld, D.C.'s hired guns in this gun case, is using the collection of founding documents compiled on ConSource, the first comprehensive online collection of Constitution-related source materials. Their research will present the District's position that their handgun ban withstands Constitutional scrutiny, and that you have no rights. These documents will play an important role in seeking to overturn the ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit holding that the District's law, banning gun possession even at home, violates the Second Amendment.

ConSource is currently in beta test, but is accessible by special request.
