11:30 Some kind of announcement from white house
formerly known as frank:
I would agree, except some of his orders have allowed him to by pass Congress and the Constitution. There may be no limit to what he could try to do with presidential orders, and if he appoints two more to the Supreme Court, the court may allow him to do as he wishes.

SturmRugerSR9:
*Found this in Huffington Post web site, pertaining to todays Obama announcement, about assault weapons and magazines:
Moreover, the administration is pointedly not going after those weapons and ammunition clips that are currently and lawfully owned. The proposal would instead affect the future production and sale of military-style weapons or high-capacity magazines.
"We are not going to go after existing stock of weapons or magazines," said a senior administration official. "We are going to limit it to the manufacturing of assault weapons and clips going forward"
*The way I read this, it says if you already have a pistol like mine that holds a magazine that holds 17+1 that it will not be illegal per Obama/Biden list of 23 proposals. Am I right?
Now for the Markell proposals? What supercedes what?
