ATF Fraud Finally Recognized by National Media

So, history repeats itself, and once more CBS News is out there “leading” the establishment pack on ATF “fraud, waste, and abuse.” Except there’s another story no one wants to look into, and that brings us back to the Chipman allegations I referred to near the start of this piece, and again with history repeating itself, they have their genesis over at CleanUpATF...

"Waste, abuse, corruption, and fraud"...? Where have we heard that before? And more to the point, why was nothing done about it then?

The Best of Us

 Since the COVID-19 pandemic began, many of us remained hunkered in our homes while millions of immigrants, essential workers, many of whom undocumented, rose to the occasion to keep this country running — jeopardizing their livelihood while knowing the future was uncertain. They kept our grocery shelves stocked, packed warehouses, and cleaned and sanitized businesses, cared for our families, seniors, and delivered food to our doorsteps while this country came to a standstill.  [More]

A Law Unto Themselves

 The case has hinged on whether the ATF improperly issued a "legislative rule," thereby usurping the sole legislative authority of Congress under the Constitution. [More]

All the cases I have been following make this argument more as a matter of getting the rule overturned than in agreement that Congress should have such authority.

Meanwhile, the government's lawyer is doing the old in-out in-out.
