Ms. Lynch was approved by the committee on a 12-8 vote, with three Republicans joining in backing her: Sens. Orrin G. Hatch of Utah, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Jeff Flake of Arizona. [More]Oh, look.
Oh, look.
Oh, look.
Oh, and look.
The perpetual con jobs from "our side" continue to produce the unintended consequence that more people will say the hell with it and turn to the new paradigm.

Jeff FLAKE . . . how appropriate!
ReplyDeleteFlake, huh? Brings to mind 1994, when I wrote several letters to my congressman, Jon Kyl, urging him to vote against the Klinton Krime Bill's "assault weapon" [sic] and standard-capacity magazine bans. He always replied, and always said there was no way that he would ever encroach on our 2A rights.
ReplyDeleteYet, he voted for the Klinton Krime Bill after all.
Why? Because it included the "Violence Against Women" act, which he had been sponsoring for several years. "I considered it better to support the VAWA, and later return to fight the antigun provisions of the bill" (paraphrased ... but I still have that 4-page, single-spaced sniveling excuse). I recognized immediately that the US Constitution grants no authority to Congress to fight violence against women -- which the SCOTUS also ruled six years later (US v. Morrison). So Kyl threw an explicitly enumerated right under the bus in order to pass a law which Congress had no authority to pass in the first place.
And while the NRA dropped his rating to C-something for that stunt, they STILL supported Kyl in his 1994 senate race, rather than his A-rated Libertarian opponent.
And of course, Sen. Kyl NEVER LIFTED A FINGER to overturn "those antigun provisions" like he said he would.
But AZ voters returned this "conservative stalwart" to the Senate two more times after that.
