So, you think this isn’t a problem because GOP controls both houses?

Think about that before you decided not to vote this November.

"The piece is written by Adam Winkler, a U.C.L.A. School of Law professor. Winkler argues the secret court is a good idea because the same kind of court is already used for government surveillance, and historically, the U.S. has committed worse rights violations such as Japanese internment camps."

Historically, the U.S. has committed worse massacres including the one at Wounded Knee South Dakota in 1890. (Which was much larger, as Rush noted today.) So Orlando would be okay, according to the New York Times way of thinking?

Omar Mateen was a FL licensed security officer. Believing that any of the leftists' proposals would have prevented this massacre is magical thinking.

“In 2013 I published a follow-up called EXTORTION, which argued that members of Congress from both parties were in the habit of ‘extorting’ campaign contributions and other favors from businesses and out side groups. Money flowing into politics was not just about outside interests trying to ‘bribe’ politicians; politicians were knowing putting outside interests in a position where they had to buy ‘protection’ from them. I also released to the public for the first time the ‘party dues’ lists whereby politicians were required to pay a certain amount of money to their party in order to obtain seats on certain congressional committees. The more important the committee, the more you were expected to pay. I further explained how politicians from both parties were using leadership PACs to feather their own nests, tapping those funds to pay for things that enhanced their own lifestyles”....Clinton Cash page 4

A New York Times editorial advocates for a new law allowing a secret court to take away citizens' right to own a gun at the discretion of the federal government.

Cold dead hands...

Not that anybody cares about such things anymore:

Amendment V

No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

Maybe a secret committee to take away the first amendment rights of journalist who step over the line too... No court, no jury... just a committee.

How would the butt kissers at the New York Times feel about that?

Having written a novel, a little over 20 years ago, which deals in large part on the intellectual dishonesty of the New York Times, as a major plot mechanism, I am tempted to respond to this latest idiocy of these journalists without a moral compass.

But having one, I cannot quite bring myself to propose a secret Court to strip away the First Amendment Rights of American journalists who never respect--much less defend--basic elements of the American heritage.

Once again the Times chimes in against what better men vouchsafed to us.

But they’d scream if anyone so much as touched the First Amendment.

Screaming ‘hypocrisy’ writ large in red letters.

So, in the eyes of the Times the first amendment is sacred and untouchable but the 2nd amendment can be suspended by congress!

People in favor of Star Chambers always imagine themselves on them. It doesn’t work like that.

I can just see it: anyone posting to Free Republic or any conservative site is automatically “a suspected terrorist.”

Trump should respond by saying we should suspend the 1st Amendment and shut down leftist blogs/websites confirmed to have treasonous intent (which is most of them). Or maybe that we should suspend the one on equal-rights voting in Ferguson the next time they riot.

The Dem/libs have been yapping for gun control for decades.
How has that been working out for them?

And in the last two months... (Nov. 2012 and Dec. 2012)

And it continues...

And there is more...

And more...

And yet more...

And more and more and...

We just keep buyin' more...

And we bought more more more...

And more and more and more...

KEEP YAPPIN, LIBERALS, WE'LL BUY MILLIONS MORE. ;-)
