The ‘Conservative’ Court

Only the states and Congress can regulate elections, according to the Constitution. But not according to SCOTUS. [More]

Well, it’s not like they get asked relevant questions in the job interview…

“Usually, when Senators at confirmation hearings have asked Supreme Court nominees to comment on topical legal and constitutional issues, the nominees have firmly declined to do so.” The report explains. “In those situations, the nominees typically have taken the position that answers to questions which convey their personal views would conflict with their obligation to avoid appearing to make commitments, or provide signals, as to how they would vote as a Justice on future cases.”

J’Accuse…!

The National Rifle Association acted as a “foreign asset” for Russia in the period leading up to the 2016 election, according to a new investigation unveiled Friday by Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore. [More]

This communist stool sample never saw a gun he didn’t want to ban. This is just his way of throwing out an accusation that gets a lot of shallow publicity to help gin up outrage among anyone stupid enough to support their own disarmament and vote for a Democrat, and NRA makes a convenient, self-deflating punching bag.

Los Angeles City Council Arrests Point to ‘Criminals for Gun Control’ Mentality

“Curren Price is the latest member of the Los Angeles City Council to be arrested in recent years.” … “I am a firm believer in the control of guns, the restraint of guns, and the federal government’s proposal for the regulation of guns,” Curren told Our Weekly in 2013 in a report on the “Gun Culture on South L.A.” [More]

Projection much?

Triumph of the Vichycons

GOP Squish Caucus Saves Evil Adam Schiff From Being Censured [More]

They really are doing their damnedest to douse and fire in bellies for ’24. And would it be too much to name them and save the rest of us the time?

Anyway, it’s consistent with what we’ve come to expect.

UPDATE

I gotta say, the Yeas and Nays confuse me, as do some of the names I see. So if they voted “Yea” they were against the resolution?

Is Thomas Massie right? What’s that assessment based on, speech or debate?

Who Will Judge the Judges?

Third Circuit, En Banc, Range v. Lombardo: Not All Modern Felons Lose Second Amendment Rights … Several judges dissented. [More]

Which ones?

Who nominated them?

Who voted to confirm them?

I could go find out but it would take time I don’t have right now.

It would be nice if there were a website that provided judicial ratings and a way to hold those who enabled them politically accountable. It would be even more useful if it also politically scaled and rated inferior court judges running in “nonpartisan” elections and showed who backs them so their partisan allegiances could be inferred.

I guess I’m talking something like Ballotpedia on steroids. Too bad the name “Judicial Watch” is taken, although come to think of it, they’d be the perfect ones to take this on.

Democrats Pressuring House Republicans into Caving on Guns

Whether any of the Vichycon Republicans are actually gutless and dumb enough to believe that the prudent play is to listen to the commies and betray their base remains to be seen. While the urge to believe they won’t be is strong, we’ve seen “moderates” snatch defeat from the jaws of victory before. While they might not cave on everything, their baffling propensity to give up “something” and showcase an aptitude for “bipartisan compromise” is a factor that can’t be ignored. [More]

They only need five turncoats in the House, and those aren’t that hard to find.

The Way the Game is Played

Iowa Republican Sen. Joni Ernst is introducing a bill on Tuesday that would prohibit the Internal Revenue Service from arming its agents with taxpayer money. [More]

She’s pandering to rah-rah Republican gun owners over something she knows damn well doesn’t have a chance in hell of passing and counting on them being oblivious to her screwing them in Biden’s ‘Bipartisan’ Betrayal.

As Expected

White House threatens to veto GOP resolution against its pistol brace ban [More]

Was there ever any doubt that it was anything but symbolic, with no chance of going anywhere?

Let’s see what the Republicans do if they keep the House and regain the Senate and the White House, that is, if they don’t blow it.

Delegated Authority

This mailer was sent to me by longtime WarOnGuns Correspondent Mack H, who is of the opinion that primary competitor Marie March is the better RKBA choice:

I’m not in a position to weigh in, so leave it to those of you who are to make your case in comments, below, if you’re so inclined.

I will say it’s refreshing to see candidates competing on who is most pro-RKBA.

All You Need to Know About Christie

“Eight years ago, you were entertained,” he said. “I forgive you.” [More]

28 years ago you said this. And you lied about saying this two years earlier:

“‘The issue which has energized me to get into this race is the recent attempt by certain Republican legislators to repeal New Jersey’s ban on
assault weapons,’ Christie said in a statement released (on April 14, 1993). ”In today’s society, no one needs a semi-automatic assault weapon.'”

I won’t forgive you.

Label Talk

The dark-money effort is called No Labels, and they’ve committed an eye-popping $70 million to put a third-party presidential candidate on the ballot in 2024. On Fox News on Sunday, West Virginia Senator Joe Manchin wouldn’t rule out running for president on the No Labels ticket. The very real risk is that Sen. Manchin—or another Republican-funded candidate—would peel away enough votes from the Democratic candidate to hand victory to the Republican candidate… [More]

I’m on MoveOn’s email list to keep apprised of what they’re up to.

This sounds promising!

So Much for ‘Home Rule’

More than two-thirds of big-money, super PAC contributions supporting Mike Johnston for Denver mayor has come at the hands of just five people, and four of those are from outside Colorado — and all with ties to gun control or other “social justice” issues. [More]

It’s not like we didn’t see a slow fist coming:

In July, and again in December of 2013, this column warned — and has been a lonely voice raising the alarm in subsequent reports — that Michael Bloomberg’s Mayors Against Illegal Guns had been establishing well-funded “action groups” in the various states as part of a committed strategy to impose New York-style “gun controls” throughout the land. The first report noted MAIG had already been at it for 10 months, yet information from the media, as well as from pro- and anti-gun groups, has been limited to nonexistent.

“Our side” needs to stop being so overwhelmingly reactionary and lay out adjustable plans for the long term. Just like the enemy does.

The MAGA Menace!

A former GOP candidate in New Mexico has been indicted on federal charges in connection to a spate of shootings at Democratic officials’ homes after he lost his 2022 midterm election bid, court documents show. [More]

CNN is groping itself in ecstasy now that it’s finally got a Republican involved in “gun violence.”

With the guy’s prior record, you’d think Democrats who are all about felons voting wouldn’t have sued to keep him off the ballot. And the Stupid Party “leadership” failed, too: Instead of disavowing the creep, they played the “young Hispanic man, who turned his life around” card, as if Democrats still won’t paint them as a bunch of white supremacists.

The Opposite of ‘Diverse,’ and ‘Inclusive’

After these speeches about diversity and inclusion for all, the Democrat’s true attitude towards minorities was once again on hideous display as Lieber demanded that the Republican Senators, who have taken a brave stand to protect their constituents, be forcibly dragged back to the floor to help the Democrats pass more attacks on gun owners and parents. [More]

Bottom line, they’re all about using fraud, coercion, and force to bend everyone to their will.

Everyone.

Obey them or they’ll rage, seek revenge, attack…

“Liberals” my … eye.

To the Bitter End

They push her wheelchair, remind her how and when she should vote and step in to explain what is happening when she grows confused. [More]

As long as they can get the right light on the shell they’ve always controlled to blink when they want it to, those who benefit from keeping it animated aren’t about to turn the seat over to someone else’s dummy.

So being too mentally compromised to own a gun in her opinion doesn’t disqualify a Democrat from a Senate seat…?

Not Your Father’s Political Campaign

Nolte: Ron DeSantis’s First Act as a Presidential Candidate Was to Ignore Establishment Media [More]

I know everybody is laughing at the technical glitches. That’s to distract focus from how revolutionary bypassing the DSM and making them come to you on your terms is, and how that terrifies those who are starting to realize the implications.
