Gun control advocates are hyperventilating over President Trump’s nomination of Judge Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court. Michael Bloomberg’s anti-gun rights group, Everytown for Gun Safety, warned: “Judge Kavanaugh has applied an extreme and dangerous interpretation of the Second Amendment when determining whether a law is constitutional, one that does not take into account a law’s impact on public safety.”

They are fighting against a done deal.
There’s an amendment process if they think the 2nd is unsafe.
Seems to me, he did take public safety into account!
“They are fighting against a done deal.”
I remember when repeal of Obamacare was a done deal. It the current Senate it will take only two GOP no votes to defeat this nomination if the Democrats hang tough.
The US Senate is a club of 100 egomaniacs who crave media attention. On the Republican side Collins and Murkowski frequently vote with the Democrats. This year Flake and Corker are both exiting at the end of the year and might vote against the nominee as a parting jab at Trump. McCain has a legacy of going against the party on key votes. If he resigns or dies before the vote, his replacement may make a mark by voting no.
Many of these Senators are tainted if not corrupt and vulnerable to extortion. Public interest groups, the DNC, and Soros are spending millions to defeat this nomination. Bureaucrats in the deep state with insider knowledge of FBI files, phone calls taped by the NSA, or IRS records may leak dirt to the press or the public interest groups.
When all it takes is two defectors, it isn’t over until the vote is cast. Murkowski and Collins together can sink this nomination in the name of protecting women’s health. Flake and Corker will suffer no repercussions by voting no since they are going out. Sasse is another GOP Senator who would love to poke Trump in the eye. It is as possible this nomination will fail with 5 or 6 Republican Senators voting no as it is for a narrow victory.
I stand on my position.
It is a done deal.
Because they are in a losing cause.
Right! Kids (and Leftists too, apparently) either hyperventilate or hold their breath until they turn blue when they are in a losing argument...
I say let them hold their breath until they croak (The leftists, that is...kids are smart enough to begin breathing before they croak!)
“Gee, what if he forces everyone to see that the Second Amendment actually means what it says....?”
The left is in a LOSING FIGHT.
If Democrats/Leftists take an oath of office to defend the Constitution,maybe they should be required to read it & be tested on it before the oath of office is administered. If they decide they don’t want to defend it,then why are they in office?
