Here’s the thing I never hear his critics address:
When he takes a position contrary to what the president and party are pushing, what does the Constitution say?
A Bigger Problem
The White House has cut ties with a non-profit over its links to an LGBT group that is being investigated over possible foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk’s assassination. The state department said it had “completely severed and dismantled” its relationship with Utah Global Diplomacy (UGD) after its links to Armed Queers SLC, a pro-gun LGBT group, were unearthed online. [More]
Forget group ideologies and associations.
Anybody see a delegated power for financial ties with any group in Article.II.?

Yep. Government should exercise no power and take no action that does not “secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity.”
So… what are they gonna ask them about the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Second Amendment…?
And what can they get wrong and still “pass”?

And Trump promises more if they retaliate.
So much for “We’re just going to take out the nukes, honest.”
Did someone way “regime change“?
Let’s see, how do they retaliate?
We strike military targets. They target civilians.
Let’s see what happens to that “increasing appetite” when their people here start doing that. Speaking of which, file this under “WTF?”
I want the Constitution observed. Since this affects me and mine, I want my representatives to weigh in. Calling someone who agrees with that a “pathetic loser” is ad hominem, a logical fallacy. It does not speak well to position or character.
Oh, and I’d like to see the evidence.
Still, we would be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge how we got to this point.

The Original ‘No Kings’ Rally
The Founders didn’t just rebel, they reasoned. [More]
Excellent short essay about what made America different…
If it whets your appetite, I’ve got a longer read for you.
There’s a reason Marxist Democrats want anyone who espouses founding principles rejected by their mobs as a fascist. The real revolution wasn’t the rebellion, it was the idea that people can govern themselves without monarchs.
And there’s a reason why the left has co-opted that concept to replace kings with commissars.

FAFO
“We should replace our piece of crap Constitution.” [More]
Elie Mystal seems to be under the mistaken belief that the Constitution only protects us from her.
Knowing what Jacobins are capable of, she’d [UPDATE: he’d] do well to realize some of us, with the arms, capabilities, and will, will not go gentle onto that good tumbrel.

Something Else Missing?
The Constitution page on President Donald Trump’s White House website is showing a 404 error. [More]
I dunno, The Hill and MSNBC may just be playing “Gotcha” here and this is something that’ll come after immediate action priorities are taken care of. Speaking of which… You can’t deny the guy has been busy these first few days and my Firearms News editor has invited me to comment on the lack of 2A mention. I said let’s give it his first week.
When the WH site does put up a Constitution page, let’s hope they get it right this time.
Mr. Secretary
What more proof is needed that when the Deep State runs things, the president is just a figurehead?
Yeah, right, the problem is the Constitution.

The Wrong Way
The Supreme Court struck the ban down, making it clear that if you wanted to ban bumpstocks you had to do it the right way, which is the way the Constitution outlines, which is actually passing a bill through Congress and having it signed into law by the president. [Watch]
“Left unsaid is where Congress derives such authority in the first place, as the power to regulate and ban arms is nowhere delegated to it in the Constitution. The only clear mandate is ‘the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.’ By any branch of government.”
Change my mind. Show the section and clause.
I expect our would-be leaders to know this stuff.

Yeah, the guy who dissented in Heller and said the RKBA shall be infringed wants the Constitution to say whatever he and his fellow authoritarians want it to say, because they’re smarter than the Founders and they’re smarter than you.
Everybody wants that.

US District Court judge Glenn Suddaby finds that NY ban on guns in public housing violates the 2nd Amendment. [More]
That’s all fine and good, but I still want to know why forcing me to pay for someone else’s living costs don’t violate the 13th Amendment…
I wonder what the text, history, and tradition at the time of ratification would have to say about that…

The Eye of the Beholder
The Case That Could Destroy the Government [More]
So essentially it’s the same principle as ATF having no lawful authority to effectively “legislate” bans…? In other words, this is a case that could force government back in its delegated powers chains — if the usurpers were inclined to obey such rulings, which they’d never do without a fight unless cowed into it.
But leave it to the government control cultists at The Atlantic to act like the “swarms of officers” are the injured party here…
