Baloney.
Mr. Kalamata
Kalamata: "Baloney."
And so we see the mind of a Democrat at work in Kalamata's response -- faced with an unbreakable argument he just handwaves it away as "baloney".
Nothing else is needed here, Democrats continue to pretend only their own fantasies matter.
By the way, the 1792 Militia Act, singed by President Washington and used in the Whiskey Rebellion, was enhanced in the 1807 Insurrection Act signed by President Jefferson and still in effect today.
