Thank you for your summary of the hearing and all that’s going on before and after. I really wonder how our nation was ever governed for four years by a failed president caring only for his title and not his oath. And his intense need for every underling to bow before him. Good to see todays panel of DOJ and hear how they resisted Trump …
Thank you for your summary of the hearing and all that’s going on before and after. I really wonder how our nation was ever governed for four years by a failed president caring only for his title and not his oath. And his intense need for every underling to bow before him. Good to see todays panel of DOJ and hear how they resisted Trump but Trump found others to do his bidding. Still and then in his party so many repubs did just that and continue their allegiance. I wish I could be optimistic that we’ll be okay. But seeing how our courts are dismantling our protections possibly including Roe v Wade, and the ruling striking down NY’s law limiting concealed guns in public, combined with the senate gun law compromise. Definitely not nearly robust enough to prevent sales of military weapons for people over 21 (that’s still adolescents able to legally purchase) but really we are far from other countries that lead in gun restrictions. Scary. At least this: Gratitude for the panel and the hearings and trying to shed light on the truth. “The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.” Ida B. Wells.
I love NY. My kids live there now. And I visit often. I cringe to think of walking in Times Square or riding the subway with the possibility of anyone legally carrying a gun. A subway or bus ride from Brooklyn to the city for a day at school suddenly seems scarier than ever. Now there will be more cars in the bridge, more traffic. Like avoiding a virus. A plague.
One can only hope, that now that the SC has made it possible for every lunatic in the country to be armed to the teeth, that they will find them en-mass in front of their homes, it might help focus their minds, not just protesters with placards and banners, but everyone of them armed with AR-15’s, it’s their 1st and 2nd Amendment right after all. Be very careful what you ask for.

That ruling striking down NY's law knocked me flat.
Me too. It's my state.

Oh, but didn't Congress just pass legislation for "extra security" at the homes of the SC justices? Just in time. /s
Then they will be just down the street, those Ar-15’s are accurate at 400 yards not just in classrooms and grocery stores.
