"Sen. Ted Cruz has warned that we are only one justice away from having the Second Amendment guaranteeing our right to keep and bear arms written out of the Constitution. (snip)
What few people know -- and the media wont remind them -- is that Ted Cruz was a prime mover in getting Heller, in which Scalia wrote the majority opinion, before the Court and decided in favor of gun rights, ruling that the right to keep and bear arms was an individual right and that the word militia, as the Founders intended, meant the whole people of the United States. If Heller had gone the other way, our gun rights would have been thrown on the ash heap of history. In January Cruz told CNN: "I represented 31 states in the Heller case, which upheld the individual right to keep and bear arms. ....(snip)
Hillary Clinton, for example, has said she will put Supreme Court justices on the court who will overturn Heller. And if Heller is overturned
there were four justices who said that there is no individual right to keep and bear arms whatsoever, that it is only a collective right in the militia, which is fancy lawyer talk for a nonexistent right
[If] Hillary Clinton gets one more Supreme Court justice, what it would mean is, the Supreme Court would say you and I and every individual American have no constitutional right under the Second Amendment at all, and either the federal government or a state government could make it a crime to possess a firearm."

My dear, you are blaming the victim. Ivana is not the one who cheated, Donald was the one. How can you blame her for the way she handled it????
I read that Donald was married to Marla, and left her for Melania, but your info. might be correct, or maybe mine. Who knows.
Thanks for your thoughtful post, but I could never donate to anti-2ndA, anti-life, anti-liberty candidates like Andrew Cuomo, Schumer, et al.
Furthermore, as I mentioned, Donald gave MORE to Dems. Here’s more on that:
“..”While it has been an open secret for several years that Donald Trump was once a heavy Democratic donor, a deeper analysis of campaign records shows that the real estate billionaires contributions skewed even further left during the 2006 mid-term election, the crucial contest that put Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi in power and arguably helped pave the way for Barack Obamas political agenda. (snip)
Overall in the 2006 election cycle, Trump and his son, Donald Trump Jr., donated $77,200 to Democrats versus only $24,250 on Republicans. Looking back to the 2004 cycle, the pair donated $40,500 to Democrats and only $17,250 to the GOP.(snip)”
Did Donald’s son also get him to change on all the other flip flops? There are just TOO MANY of them to believe Donald, Sr. could change his mind - WAY too many.
Many politicians, whether they have never been in office before, or have already served, have told us what we want to hear. We elect them. Most of them, imo, disappoint us.
Time to support TrusTED, who ALREADY has done what we want.
“Cruz is no stranger to the nations highest court. As the solicitor general of Texas, he found himself arguing some of the most consequential cases of the last decade. On his Senate webpage, he lists six cases that established landmark national victories:
U.S. sovereignty against the United Nations and the World Court in Medellin v. Texas;
The Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms;
The constitutionality of the Texas Ten Commandments monument;
The constitutionality of the words under God in the Pledge of Allegiance;
The constitutionality of the Texas Sexually Violent Predator Civil Commitment law; and
The Texas congressional redistricting plan.
Cruz has filed more than 80 briefs in Supreme Court cases, including one defending Hobby Lobby and Conestoga Wood Specialties. Sens. John Cornyn (RTexas), Mike Lee (R Utah) and David Vitter (RLa.), also signed that amicus brief.
In a situation like that....sometimes you have to give the dumb guy a little rope and let him hang himself.
Cheat or not, Ivana still wanted Donald. But she went about it the wrong way.
In Aspen, it was clear Marla showed up to bait Ivana. Ivana fell right into her trap.
BTW, Marla was long gone by the time Melania appeared.
Trump and Marla divorced in 1999. Trump married Melania in 2005. If Trump left Marla for Melania, why the six year gap?
We see this differently. If a businessman donated more to democrats in a conservative state such as Idaho or Wyoming than to republicans, that would mean something. For a businessman in a democrat state to donate mostly to democrats means nothing about their politics beyond that they are willing to pay to play (which is something). To me, this means that New York government is corrupt, not that Trump is a liberal.
“..But she went about it the wrong way. ..”
It was DONALD who went the wrong way - he cheated on his wife, and the mother of his children.
It was a proud day to see 10,000 Second Amendment NYers demonstrate in NY’s capitol, Albany, NY.
I’m sure these folks will do their research and vote for the candidate with a proven history, TED CRUZ.
How Scalia and Ted Cruz Saved the 2nd Amendment
....I represented 31 states in the Heller case, which upheld the individual right to keep and bear arms. ....(snip)
The 10,000 demonstrated because of Guv Cuomo’s anti-2ndA. “Safe” Act.
But soon after it was passed, a number of gun manufacturers also left NY State, and took their JOBS with them.
