They follow trend in society and they are not to step in to save our ***** with all the multiple shooting taking place. Green light to anti gunners nation wide.

EdDinIL Posted April 19, 2021 at 09:05 PM Share Posted April 19, 2021 at 09:05 PM Conservative judges at all levels are, by their nature, not activists, and are thus likely not going to stamp out liberal gun-grabbing BS across the board. Court cases have to be incremental, like D.C. v Heller and McDonald v City of Chicago. As much as I want a "SAF v the Feds" to knock down the NFA, GCA, and all the other nonsense, it's not going to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Manchin won't vote for it that should bring a 51-49 vote or if he votes 'present" that would leave it 50-49. That is not a tie. Of course that is if all of the RINO's vote as republicans and not once again prove what a pile of crap they are. Jim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO when it comes to something controversial like packing the court, they will likely even find it hard to get the votes in the House from those not in solid blue districts, mid terms are coming sooner than later.

False. The leftocrats WILL push this through like they pushed through TyanniCare. This was the best case scenario where all but 1 democrat voted for totalitarianism and all RINOpublicans plus 1 democrat voted against it. The RINOpublican party won't do anything about this. They're utterly powerless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EdDinIL Posted April 20, 2021 at 01:49 PM Share Posted April 20, 2021 at 01:49 PM ACA at Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affordable_Care_Act I'm assuming the numbers in the Wikipedia link are accurate. When the Affordable Care Act was passed, the Democrats had a 58-40-2 advantage in the Senate. The 2 independents voted with the Democrats to end cloture. On December 23, the Senate voted 60–39 to end debate on the bill: a cloture vote to end the filibuster. The bill then passed, also 60–39, on December 24, 2009, with all Democrats and two independents voting for it, and all Republicans against (except Jim Bunning, who did not vote). That majority does not exist today. Convincing 10 Republicans to end debate OR all 50 Democrats to invoke the nuclear option will be a difficult task. I'm more concerned about the latter happening. Having the fate of SCOTUS depend on 1 or 2 Democrat Senators is a scary proposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
