Lautenberg has croaked. Say it again, and again.
Lautenberg has croaked. Savor those words.
Enjoy!
Affect of Lautenberg's death: High
The word the reporter is looking for is "Effect". And the only effect he appears to consider important is that the Senate may be less able to punish innocent citizens for crimes they didn't commit. That isn't much of a legacy.
Which makes it the best damn thing that could happen to this country right now.
Well... not the best - but we won't get that.
Lautenburg was functionally dead for about 5 years.
I wish his family comfort in this time, but New Jersey is a better place with him out of the picture.
MSM doesn’t mind at all when the GOP holds the Senate and left-wing crazy Senators prevent any business from being done whatsoever. No judicial appointments voted on, that sort of thing.
Better Headline: US Constitution Safer with the Lautenberg Dead
The Senate has be dysfunctional for several decades. FL, crook NJ, was just another fly in the ointment.
Sorry Mr. Bump. This is America. We don't "compromise" our rights here.
A nonfunctional Senate should be the goal for everyone.
Lautenberg was the one who tried to ban gun shows a few years back. Any ‘compromise’ he supported would deserve defeat.
The New Jersey Governor may sell out and select another dem replacement. I sincerely hope not but if he does I hope that he does not go cheaply but rather soaks the feds dearly for the benefit of his state.
Lautenberg and Functionality are mutually exclusive! I understand that the Democrats kept a mirror at his desk to check his breathing and alert Dingy Harry Reid to prod Frankie when a vote was needed.
