Justice Sotomayor, dissenting in the bump stock case:
"Today, the Court puts bump stocks back in civilian hands. To do so, it casts aside Congress's definition of 'machinegun' and seizes upon one that is inconsistent with the ordinary meaning of the statutory text and unsupported by context or purpose. When I see a bird that walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I call that bird a duck. A bump-stock-equipped semiautomatic rifle fires 'automatically more than one shot, without manual reloading, by a single function of the trigger.' §5845(b). Because I, like Congress, call that a machinegun, I respectfully dissent."
@AVindman Apparently Trump has made being a racist acceptable, I remember when anyone saying that would have been off the air permanently before the show was over
@acnewsitics Even if he went to France...Seems the last time there was an opportunity for him to honor our fallen he was late and then skipped it because he might get his hair wet...
This is sickening. It suggests that Evan, a journalist, is being held as a political bargaining chip for Trump's campaign & that Trump is ok with that. Sickening.
One thing is clear to me.
Republicans don’t want to work on border issues.
They’d rather bitch and blame Democrats.
Republicans are a do nothing party.
Today: Senate GOP are expected to refuse to pass a measure that would guarantee Americans access to contraception.
If you want to be able to use birth control, consider carefully before you decide whether & how to vote in November. The threat to our rights is real.
@DannieD01 I remember when Nixon was a scandal and we thought it wouldn't get any worse...then George B. but in my wildest dreams I never conceived of the GOP going full on corrupt and criminal
