Does anybody like Mitch? Nancy hissed his name during her incoherent meltdown earlier today.
I think 20,000 has become a figure a lot of people toss
around, yet it is considered to be a dated figure, with
plenty more out there these days.
I toss this out there for discussion. I honestly have no
idea even what ballpark I should be referencing.
300k does sound high, but I'm all for them backing it
up if they can.
Excuse me but I’m trying to find exactly what this gun control bill entails. Is it only for Enhanced Background Checks? Is this H.R. 1446??
So who is taking it to the courts? When?
Defy Trump?? What position of power does Trump have? Trump has influence. But no real power.
They already did last year essentially...

-Held: Neither the holding nor logic of Cady justifies such warrantless
searches and seizures in the home. Cady held that a warrantless
search of an impounded vehicle for an unsecured firearm did not violate the Fourth Amendment. In reaching this conclusion, the Court
noted that the officers who patrol the “public highways” are often
called to discharge noncriminal “community caretaking functions,”
such as responding to disabled vehicles or investigating accidents. 413
U. S., at 441. But searches of vehicles and homes are constitutionally
different, as the Cady opinion repeatedly stressed. Id., at 439, 440–
442. The very core of the Fourth Amendment’s guarantee is the right of a person to retreat into his or her home and “there be free from unreasonable governmental intrusion.” Florida v. Jardines, 569 U. S. 1,
6. A recognition of the existence of “community caretaking” tasks, like
rendering aid to motorists in disabled vehicles, is not an open-ended
license to perform them anywhere. Pp. 3–4.
953 F. 3d 112, vacated and remanded.-
Look at what has happened to many of the arrested January 6 protestors.
1). Imprisonment for over a year without bail, many for minor offenses.
2). Denial of right to a speedy trial.
3). Inhumane conditions in prison. Poor food, denial of medical care, abuse by guards, unsanitary conditions. Essentially they are receiving punishment daily.
4). Biased, hostile judges overseeing trials and openly expressing contempt for the defendants.
5). Government withholding evidence from defense attorneys.
6). Many assigned weak or incompetent public defenders.
7). Most receiving maximum sentences even in plea deals.
Due process is already dead in this country. Republican politicians are silent on the violation of the due process rights of the January 6 prisoners. Not a whimper from them when swat teams stage predawn raids on nonviolent people accused being arrested for nonviolent crimes with press cameras rolling outside (Manafort, Roger Stone).
George W. Bush’s Patriot Act, permitting secret courts and widespread surveillance of American citizens, was the tipping point in the evisceration of constitutional protections. Today the legal system is corrupt, politicized and weaponized. Prosecutors can already purposefully use the legal system, and detainment without trial to force guilty pleas from average citizens who can’t afford expensive top notch defenders and years of legal maneuvering. Red Flag laws are simply codifying activity that already occurs.
Sheesh. They’re not defying Trump, they’re defying their own voters. This, teachers in a supposed republic, were there elected to represent their constituents. Or if you want to say it’s a democracy where they’re supposed to do the things that their Constituents want them to do. So it’s neither a democracy or republic. Closer to communism I would say where the party controls everything.
'This time was different because Democrats finally moved our way and accepted the reality that Americans do not have to choose between their constitutional rights and safer communities. They can have both,' McConnell said.
