We do have a Constitution in the USA, sort of. We ignore it sometimes. Well, to be more accurate, the Left ignores it sometimes, and gets away with it whenever possible. There is, for example, a 2nd Amendment, that guarantees the right of citizens to keep and bear (that means CARRY) arms. Except, of course, that it doesn’t, because legislators and the courts have decided the words don’t mean what they mean.
Here’s a headline:
Steny Hoyer says Democrats beaten on guns
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer admits that Democrats are conceding the gun issue to Republicans for now.
Republicans have been increasingly using pro-gun amendments to throw a wrench into Democratic legislation, attaching amendments to seemingly unrelated bills allowing for expanded gun carrying privileges in national parks.
The tactic seems to be working, with Democrats acknowledging that pro-gun members rule in both chambers.
“There clearly is a majority in both houses that the Second Amendment rights … that relate to the national parks are too restricted,” Hoyer told reporters Tuesday. “The reality is that a majority in both houses agree with that position.”
Imagine: a majority of both houses (which has to include a decent share of democrats in the current congress) seems to be willing to uphold the 2nd Amendment as meaning what it means.
So, now to use your imagination. What if the headline read this way?
“Steny Hoyer Says Democrats Beaten on Freedom of Speech”
And, what if, as we read the article, it said that Democrats had been trying to restrict Freedom of Speech, but unsuccessfully so far.
That’s where we are these days. We have, to our shame, a government of men, not one of laws. And it will probably get worse.
