Sen. Feinstein at Gorsuch Confirmation: NRA an ‘Extreme Organization
breitbart.com ^ | 3/20/2017 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 03/21/2017 7:31:15 AM PDT by rktman

During the opening day of confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Neil Gorsuch, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) called the NRA an “extreme organization” that stands in the way of getting “military-style assault weapons off our streets.”

Feinstein’s NRA comment came after she voiced her expectations that the Supreme Court will have final say on air and water pollution and just before she addressed employers who “[discriminate] against workers.”

CSPAN 2 aired Feinstein’s comments: “It is the Supreme Court that will have final word … [on] whether the NRA and other extreme organizations will be able to block common sense gun regulations, including those that keep military-style assault weapons off our streets.”

Feinstein and her treasonous rat husband should have been strung up and left to rot from the Golden Gate bridge a long time ago.

Feinstein’s comments: “It is the Supreme Court that will have final word … FAKE NEWS!! Senator Fineswine knows damn well that the Congress Has the Absolute Authority under Article 3, Section 2 of the US Constitution to Limit the role of the supreme Court

I hear you. But, what she stated is the current reality. The SCOTUS has the final word until a future SCOTUS rules differently. Congress prefers it that way.

Face it. We're living in post-Constitutional America.

DiFi is an extreme wacko representing an extreme wacko Califirnia population.

(There are of course many sane people from California that provide much of the funds contributed to maintain this forum)

At more than 5 million members, the NRA is the largest civil rights (and oldest) group in America. The libs hate it when we call the NRA a civil rights group BTW.

As a proud life member of the NRA I am honored to be in Diane Feinstein’s basket of deplorables. If the press was even handed, they would now take her statements about the NRA being an extreme organization and go to everyone of the red state democrats and ask them, do you agree with your Democrat colleagues statement about the NRA being an extremist organization? They’ll never do it though.

Oh, yeah. Breitbart alert. The ‘popups’ didn’t seem too bad yet this morning.

I have adblock-plus installed on my browser. No popups, and I go to breitbart all the time.

I don’t think she does anymore. Besides, she’s got armed security now. Back in the day, post harvey milk, she carried. But, then again, she’s “special”.

That’s just silly. As we all know #blm is the premier civil rights group these day. ;-)

That witch has had a burr under her saddle since she went to the Senate - TOO MANY YEARS AGO...

I love Gorsuch’s answers - He makes more sense in NOT GIVING THE SENATORS AN ANSWER than anything Comey came up with in that hearing yesterday. His answers were all based on politics - Gorsuch is looking ahead to what may come up in the court and declines to give his opinions now. I love it!! Feinstein had to keep moving on to another question when she didn’t get what she wanted this morning.

BTW Diane - how many street shootings have been used with those horrible, awful, automatic rifles? So she went through trauma with the shooting at the SF City Hall years and years ago and can’t get over it. Too bad - why does the entire country have to suffer through her phobias?

RETIRE, DIANE - GET OUT! GO HOME! STAY HOME! But for heaven’s sake, please watch for those AR’s that are running loose and so prolific on the street

Face palm. What an embarrassment. So, what’s her next line? How many millions of people are killed every year by people with CCW’s? What a freakin’ maroon. Does she have her finger on the trigger?

“”As much as she may hate it, this old hag is going to her grave in a world where guns are readily accessible.””

I love it - gives me an idea. Let’s make sure she has a
21 or 50 or 100 gun salute at her graveside - WITH AR’s.....

“Wow!!!...That sounds like a war declaration.... Ammo up people, there will come a day when the “Man” will be at your doorstep demanding your weps.”


Just stopped at Wallyworld this morning and picked up some .22, 9 and .45.

Oh, but then tragedy struck, and while fishing I lost that ammo and all of my guns. Damn, now I have to start all over again!

Yeah, they’ll be back. It may take a while, but if Trump plays it right (and I have to believe that he’ll do that - that there is one very smart dude), then it won’t be until about 2029 or 2033 that we have to worry much. By then the continent will be on the verge of sinking several feet due to the sheer tonnage of firearms and ammo accumulated by the American public.

The Crypt Keeper’s always got to stick her oar in.

She hates surveillance, unless she’s the one doing it. Hates guns, but fans a room with her finger on the trigger of an AK. Doesn’t want illegals at her house, unless they’re mowing the yard or making her bed. Opposes Trump on anything Obama did regularly.
Fineswein is the Rat party’s `Miss Special Pleading’.

Or Miss Superannuated. How old is she anyway? Pushing 100?
Like Robert “KKK” Byrd, they will still be seating Dianne in the Senate two weeks after she croaks.

Diane Feinstein

I am the very model of a San Francisco Liberal,
I've a mind that's somewhat like a vegetable,
I know the mind of Lenin and Trotsky and socialism historical,
From Alinsky to Soros, in order categorical;
I'm not well acquainted much with matters mathematical,
Nor with religion, both the simple and heretical,
About social justice theory I'm teeming with a lot o' news---
With many cheerful facts about the effectiveness of bootleg booze.

For my constitutional knowledge, there's not much anchored in realism
Because most of my experience is in the spreading of communism;
But still in matters local, state, and federal,
I am the very model of a San Francisco Liberal.
