The wheels have been stripped bare. A large portion of this country is no longer interested in democracy, primarily because they are the minority. The only way the minority gets their way is if they're represented by an authoritarian - and that is the GOP of 2022. I can see how you feel that way. I...

Amy Coney Barrett, 2020 “What I will commit is that I will obey all the rules of stare decisis, that if a question comes up before me about whether Casey or any other case should be overruled, that I will follow the law of stare decisis **, applying it as the court is articulating it, applying all ...

But the ruling doesn't make "abortions illegal." That is just what's going to be happening in certain states because radical judges with no integrity lied during their confirmation hearings. The judges declaring that Roe was precedent contrasted to the current overturning is not lying. The idea tha...

While the report was certainly damning in many ways, Trump seems to be good at keeping illegal activity an arms length away from himself. Trump is very slippery, just like the...

If criminals simply wanted to prey on the weak, they would spend all their time kicking cats. What they want is maximum reward for minimum outlay. Even in the US, guns don't just grow on trees. And if guns were better controlled, it would be a bigger capital investment for criminals to acquire them...

If anybody may have a gun, everybody needs one ... Enjoy the fun! Me and a lot of other people in the world are glad we are not trapped on a ride in the Sacred Second Amendment theme-park, where once you are on you simply dare not get off unless everybody else gets off too. Unfortunately, yes. I th...

Conversely, though, an American home invader may only be bringing a gun because he's afraid that if he accidentally breaks into a house with people in it then the homeowner will start a gunfight. Taking people's stuff is profitable, after all, but killing random civilians has no payoff. Instead it ...
