Race against Time

Plaintiffs cannot evade meeting the standards for that extraordinary relief by simply asking this Court for an incredibly accelerated schedule on their appeal, which would not provide sufficient time for the government to brief the issues... [More]
Aww, poor guys.

I know we're asking so much of them.  It's not like I'd want to put them out or anything.

Best some of us have our lives destroyed first, and then we can always come up with other legal arguments the "just us" system can ignore and/or twist to suit the persecution's needs.

We're not done.

Also: Bear has some observations.

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Word 'Crazy' Is

SEC. 3. NEW TERMINOLOGY FOR THOSE WITH MENTAL ILLNESS. Section 922 of title 18, United States Code, is amended in each of subsections (d)(4) and (g)(4) by striking “adjudicated as a mental defective” and inserting “adjudicated with mental illness, severe developmental disability, or severe emotional instability”. [More]
Well, why not?

If you can redefine “single function of the trigger” and “automatically” for political ends, what won't be off-limits?

Gen.McAukliffe's response comes to mind.

Leaders of the Pack

Progressive activists push 2020 Dems to pack Supreme Court [More]

The Better to Shoot You with, My Dear


Why do agencies have all this firepower? [More]
Sorry, I guess I should have waited for the question.

Criminal Government Negligence

The woman who was arrested in Falmouth on Feb. 15 for allegedly assaulting a 23-year-old Mashpee man wearing a MAGA hat was again arrested Monday, this time by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement as an illegal immigrant from Brazil who has been living illegally in the U.S. since overstaying a tourist visa in 1994. [More]
How does it help "secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity" to allow this ingrate to remain in this country another moment?

More to the point and same question, although this time for those tasked with overseeing visas...

25 years and she'd still be flouting if she hadn't gotten drunk and violent? And she's hardly an exception to the rule?  Think anybody will be held accountable...?

More 3D Chess

She was one of the three judges in that circuit to essentially create a right to immigrate and rule that all Somalis, among others, have a right to sue and obtain visas to this country. [More]
So she's a domestic enemy. So is anyone on "the Right" who says otherwise.

Chronic and Habitual LIARS!


[More]
What shameless, agenda-driven liars these gun-grabbers and race hustlers are.

They make Frau Helm look truthful.

There's a Methodist to Their Madness

The mainline denomination voted on Tuesday to toughen its teachings against homosexuality, same-sex marriage, and LGBTQ clergy. [More]
Yeah, well, until they pull their heads out of their sanctimonious rectums on guns and cultural terraforming, I hope the useful kumbayidiots rip each other apart.

We're the Only Ones Self-Evident Enough

Former St. Louis officer accused of stealing suspect’s phone from evidence [More]
Why not give him one phone call then lock him up?

We're the Only Ones Professional Enough

Boston police officers were highest paid city employees in 2018 [More]
But it's still not enough, is it?

But it's nice to have a chance to use the original, unmodified  Lee Paige quote again.

A Matter of Priorities

Chicago's Cook County Votes To Dismantle 'Racist' Gang Database [More]
Fortunately, we still know who all of you who got your guns "legally" are.

Lucy's McBut

I am a strong supporter and proponent of the Second Amendment. [More]
But...

[Via Roger J]

It Depends Upon What the Meaning of the Term 'Second Amendment Sanctuary County' Is

Cooper said he would support a similar, revised bill, but it would have to be one which does not infringe upon people's rights. [More]
Flesh that out for us.

Because unless it involves full due process protections equivalent to those of a jury trial and the segregation of anyone proven to be a danger to others, we're just trampling on rights while making stroking motions.

In the Spirit of Bipartisanship

Senate Majority Leader Rich Wardner, R-Dickinson, was among the eight Republican cosponsors of the legislation. [More]
Identify the rest. Then show them what should happen to turncoats.

Unoriginal Thinking

Brett Kavanaugh Flunks His First Test as an Originalist - Unlike Thomas and Gorsuch, Kavanaugh stayed mum on originalism in a major constitutional case. [More]
Like I said, a mixed bag...

We're the Only Ones Classified Enough

California keeps a secret list of criminal cops, but says you can’t have it - Attorney General warns reporters it's illegal to possess list of thousands of cop convictions [More]
He'd tell you but then he'd have to kill you?

For the Children

One in four teenage suicides involves the internet, official inquiry finds [More]
And it looks like the preferred method is suffocation.

You'd think all these people screaming about your and my guns would be devoting some of that energy and resources to leading factors -- that is if the calculating minds behind citizen disarmament weren't really pursuing a different goal.

Thirteen Reasons Why

The final vote of 245 to 182 fell largely along party lines, but 13 Republicans joined Democrats in supporting the measure.  [More]
Who are they?  Don't you "professional reporters" at CBS News think that might be a major point of interest to at least list, if not explore? Oh, that's right, I forgot: Real journalists show you for what you are.

The Hill and Roll Call haven't forgotten the first of "the 5 W's." I see oozing "bipartisan" manginas Brian Fitzpatrick and Fred Upton are among the dissidents.

If I had the time, I'd go through each name to see how they are on immigration and guns. One name that sticks out for me is Thomas Massie's.

Here are his reasons

They don't sit well with my "VLLA SELLA" predisposition, but I've gotta admit that usurpation of undelegated authority is what got us into this tyrannical government mess in the first place.

I admit I'm conflicted. I fear if the threat is not stopped, and now, we are heading for a place where the niceties of "rules" will be irrelevant.
