The notion that repeal would be simple is a fantasy. Two-thirds of both houses of Congress would have to craft the repeal, which would then have to be ratified by three-fourths of the states. That's inconceivable in a country that has more guns than people, and laws in 44 states that permit open carry, even though the Supreme Court has never ruled that such a right is compelled by the Second Amendment.

Not only is repeal unattainable, it would also be ineffective and unnecessary. Despite Justice Stevens' preposterous assertion that the Second Amendment is the "only legal rule" protecting gun sellers, 44 states include a right to bear arms in their state constitutions. And there are numerous laws both ensuring and limiting the rights of buyers and sellers.

On one hand, guns are our most heavily regulated consumer product. Handguns can't be purchased outside the buyer's state of residence. Retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers all require federal licenses. All dealer sales must be preapproved by federal or state authorities. On the other hand, the federal Constitution sets a floor, not a ceiling, on individual rights. States can and do enact laws guaranteeing additional rights. Repeal of the Second Amendment would have no effect on those state laws.

What makes the Stevens manifesto especially irresponsible is that it would rupture the social fabric in this country -- leading to turmoil, lawlessness and violence. Considering the fervor of many gun-rights advocates, it's quite possible that not even reversal of Roe v. Wade would incite such rage. And to what end? Very few Americans believe gun rights are absolute.

Clearly, the Second Amendment does not allow an 11-year-old to carry a machine gun in front of the White House when the president is strolling on the lawn. Some weapons, some persons and some circumstances are subject to regulation.

That's the same framework we have for other rights. For example, the First Amendment permits no law "abridging the freedom of speech." Yet the courts have not protected falsely shouting fire in a crowded theater, inciting to riot, defamation, and so on. Both the right to free speech and the right to bear arms can be limited -- even though both are constitutionally safeguarded.

This is why we will never be able to have adequate conversations about guns - both sides have those who take extreme positions and rile up their fan bases with talk of the other sides' extreme positions. If Stevens really wants reasonable gun control discussions to be held, he went about it in the worst way possible.
 
Wait, this is on CNN?

Liberals don't really care about Pruitt's ethics

Much of the Trump-Hating Industrial Complex has already tried and convicted Pruitt on cable TV panels, appointing themselves experts in someone else's living arrangements to demand Pruitt's sacking.
What lurks beneath, though, is not a concern for ethics or thrifty travel budgets (they might want to check EPA directors under Obama before they tee off on travel), but rather adherence to liberal environmental policy that borders on religious conviction. Many on the left love government regulations and hate anyone who tears them down, as Pruitt has successfully done at EPA.
Having failed to incite a national panic last week over the addition of a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, the Trump haters have moved on this week to destroying Pruitt. There's a good chance they will fail at this, too. Why? Losing Pruitt would rob the Trump administration of an effective operator who has done more than most to make good on the President's campaign promises.

I can point out things that are clearly wrong in one of the three articles linked to in that report. That's not journalism, it's fake news.

This post has no opinion of CNN or any poster's views, or of what Bulletproof is doing (I agree with the motive).

In prime time, they think presenting both sides sells. But it doesn't, or they wouldn't be in third place. More people are watching the partisan echo chambers, MSNBC and Fox. I've always been surprised that Trump doesn't focus his ire more on MSNBC then CNN.

The United States Secret Service code name for Barbara Bush was "Tranquility." It exemplified her demeanor and its calming, humanizing and gentle effect on those around her. She will be forever missed.

I really despised Bush Sr. I think Bush's comments on Atheists was a significant factor in my desire to serve in the U.S military. I am a full citizen of the United States. I am a patriot. I served six years in the U.S. military and was awarded several medals for my service. I advanced quickly, and for more than half of my time had a significant amount of responsibility for a primary defensive weapon system aboard an aircraft carrier. So George Bush Sr. can eat a ****! But it seems he married a wonderful woman. I'm sad that she has died.

Charles Krauthammer is one of my heroes. For years my wife and I watched Fox News’s “Special Report With Bret Baier, ” where Charles softly delivered his insights on politics with impressive and often sardonic wit and intelligence. We grew to rely on his electronic companionship and his political navigational skills. He knew where true north pointed; and although he could bite, he seldom barked.

Now he has announced he has a few weeks to live. Our pain is sharp.

Charles is a serious baseball fan. His final declaration that “my fight is over” recalled for me the moving exit speech by Lou Gehrig, who—on July 4, 1939, dying of his eponymous disease—called himself “the luckiest man on the face of the earth.” It is important to play the game well, but it is also important how one leaves the arena.


For most of his life, Charles was a quiet daily witness that the Fates can be cruel. He surely endured untold suffering, and this latest medical report seems like piling on, to use a football term. He surely had a full dose of suffering when he broke his neck diving into a gym pool during his first year at Harvard Medical School. Despite that injury, which paralyzed his legs totally and his arms partly, he finished his medical training on time with the class of 1975. He became a psychiatrist and turned to journalism when editors noticed his talent for writing. His weekly column in the Washington Post became a Beltway staple.

Many admirers who watched Charles on Fox News did not know he was sitting in a wheelchair. I noticed because I also “ride” a chair and am limited. Charles never spoke of these issues, but I felt a special bond and wrote him a fan letter years ago to commend his remarkable political commentary and his courage. Like him, I had experienced a paralyzing injury—I broke my back in a fall while at college—though mine was less severe than his.

It turned out he knew of my history for the same reasons I knew of his. When he replied to my letter, he was gracious and shared his personal insight on our youthful misfortunes. He wrote that he and I were fortunate—sort of—to have suffered our injuries when we were so young. We might have had more difficulty recovering had we been hurt at an older age. His wise diagnosis had the ring of his psychiatric training.

Past great political pundits—Walter Lippmann, H.L. Mencken, Arthur Krock —were not the presence that Charles Krauthammer became with his daily Fox News appearances. He is the finest of our current political translators and commentators, well-suited for our age because of his contrast with it. The prevalence of bloviating, uncivilized screamers makes Charles’s self-effacing reserve especially refreshing. Slyly irreverent yet respectful and civil, he has a classic education and is literate when those attributes are being devalued. He is an inspiration: We wish we knew what Charles knows.

In his famous prayer, Cardinal John Henry Newman asked God to grant him each night “a safe lodging, and a holy rest and peace at the last.” It is that “peace at the last” we wish for our friend Charles Krauthammer. We saw him fight so well, and now he tells us his fight is over. May peace come to this fine man, who led his life in such a noble manner, and set such a shining example.

No Democrats have read the less-redacted Mueller report. But five Republicans have.

Washington (CNN)None of the six Democrats who have been provided access to a less-redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller's report have gone to the Justice Department to read it, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Republicans and the Justice Department have criticized Democrats for not at least reading the less-redacted version of the report released to lawmakers while they negotiate over access to the fully unredacted report and underlying materials.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr and Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham have read it, along with House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy and Rep. Doug Collins, the top Republican on the Judiciary Committee, have seen it, according to the source, while House Intelligence ranking member Devin Nunes has not.

This is supposed to prove that CNN doesnt hold a bias?

This article only served to get out Nadler's reasoning behind not choosing to review the material. Basically helping him get his excuses out. They aren't doing their typical attack like they would if this were about Republicans. They have to do this because they know the Democrats look stupid so they want to get out in front of it, so their fans dont grow a brain and realize the game the Democrats are playing. This is just more brain washing essentially.

But thanks for help proving Democrats are just playing stupid games and dont have anything on Trump.
