| Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the California Democrat who has emerged as the leading proponent in Congress of tough new gun regulations in the wake of last month´s Newtown, Conn., school shootings, defended her proposed assault weapons ban on Sunday. Mrs. Feinstein, in an interview on CNN´s "State of the Union," conceded that the assault-weapons-ban legislation she introduced in the Senate on Thursday faces long odds. "This has always been an uphill fight ... this is the hardest of the hard," she said. She said her new gun-control proposals have broad-based support among mayors,

When do you know legislation is an appalling power grab? When the legislators exempt themselves from it.

The ironic thing is the good senator has done more for gun sales than anyone since Samuel Colt. Or maybe ØDumbø. My crystal ball is cloudy but I think the whole thing will blow over. In order to repeal the Second Amendment it would have to be ratified by 2/3 of the states. And that´s not going to happen.

It was a recall attempt prompted by her gun control policies in San Francisco that make Feinstein politically ironclad.
I really try to like her, possibly because, next to Barbara Boxer, she´s a paragon of common sense. She has also, to some small degree, opposed the anti-military fanatics who dominate SF politics, and supported home-porting the Missouri in SF.
She´s not running for re-election. Like most of the dog-and-pony show that is Washington, she will run with this football as far as she can, and if she doesn´t cross the goal line, no one can say she didn´t try.

The NRA is open to bribery?
I don´t think anyone has to bribe the NRA to support our entire Bill of Rights, including the Second Amendment.
To get a Democrat to support these rights, however, probably WOULD require a substantial bribe.

The sad part is Kalifornia has elected a woman who is attempting to outlaw something due to it´s looks.
If Di Fi had any conscience, she would be trying to outlaw, swimming pools, automobiles and bathtubs rather than guns.
If Gun Free Zones worked, Chicago would be safe. Why don´t they pass another law that says Murder is unlawful. That should solve the problem.

The NRA is nothing but a bunch of like minded people enjoying the same hobby.Leave them alone and they´ll leave you alone.
According to Feinstein and the rest of the gun grabbers,they are outlaws,threatening the future of the country and accessory to every murder.
It´s OK to stereotype and smear these people with a broad brush but you´d better not stereotype minorities and gays,even though they are tremendously like minded,politically.
These people are always looking for something or someone to do an Alinsky on.Now Obama says Limbaugh and Fox are getting in the way of a full blown left wing country. Obama got elected twice with both of them doing their thing.
In fact,talk radio and a cable channel could be getting passed by with high tech communications and text messages to cell phones,from the WH,which is illegal. The groups might be considered neutral on paper but they´re coordinate with the WH which is illegal. Somehow I got on the WH email list about 3 years ago and got a message from MO.I replied to remove me from the list but my brain was looking for an ice bucket after reading just one sentence of it.

"For me, Sandy Hook was an epiphany ... this was a young man, he knew weapons, he knew how to use weapons."
She does make a point, one which the NRA has never addressed. For the NRA´s position has been that teaching young people to use weapons, and how to use them safely, was the best policy. Adam Lanza was taught how to use weapons. he was taught how to use them safely. But that knowledge could not overcome psychotic or delusional thinking. Not surprising to those who work with the mentally ill, but probably surprising to the general public.
People aren´t born mentally ill. Serious mental illness tends to develop over time, with the most likely time to be in adolescence or young adulthood. There need to be ways to keep weapons out of the hands of those with psychotic/delusional thinking. Arming everyone won´t stop this, for some of those people you imagine being armed will turn out to have serious mental illness. And in a psychotic episode, they may snap.

"Venal" is a word usually associated with politicians like Feinstein.
"Showing or motivated by susceptibility to bribery."

DES MOINES, Iowa — Is the tea party getting its groove back? Shouts of vindication from around the country suggest the movement´s leaders certainly think so. They say the IRS acknowledgement that it had targeted their groups for extra scrutiny — a claim that tea party activists had made for years — is helping pump new energy into the coalition. And they are trying to use that development, along with the ongoing controversy over the Benghazi, Libya, terrorist attacks and the Justice Department´s secret seizure of journalists´ phone records, to recruit new activists incensed about government overreach.

Several major cases will be decided by the Supreme Court over the next six weeks, including historic issues such as gay marriage and affirmative action. These cases make the remainder of the Court’s term—which ends in June—one of the most carefully watched terms by millions of Americans. In addition to several significant cases that have already been decided this year, the justices of the High Court have at least ten important issues to decide before adjourning for the summer.

Since his emergence as a national political figure, Barack Obama has managed to deflect accusations of wrongdoing and impropriety with ease. Republicans on Capitol Hill are determined to put that to an end by making him pay for the unfolding scandal at the Internal Revenue Service. “Ultimately responsibility lies with the president. Obama has spent the better part of the last five years doing non-stop campaigning,” says a senior Republican Senate aide who points to the administration’s larger pattern of “using political offices to intimidate and harrass” its opponents. “When bureaucrats see the leader

“And the war will end by the end of next year .?.?. ” In the elusive search for an Obama Doctrine, that struck me as a telling phrase when I heard the president deliver it last week as he and British Prime Minister David Cameron took a couple of questions from reporters. Obama was speaking about the withdrawal of U.S. and allied combat troops from Afghanistan by the end of 2014. “Our troops will continue to come home, and the war will end,” he said. In fact, the war is unlikely to end. It may well accelerate as the Taliban

When the Justice Department began investigating possible leaks of classified information about North Korea in 2009, investigators did more than obtain telephone records of a working journalist suspected of receiving the secret material. They used security badge access records to track the reporter’s comings and goings from the State Department, according to a newly obtained court affidavit. They traced the timing of his calls with a State Department security adviser suspected of sharing the classified report. They obtained a search warrant for the reporter’s personal e-mails. The case

In early 2010, an Internal Revenue Service team in Cincinnati began noticing a stream of applications from groups with political-sounding names, setting in motion a dragnet aimed at separating legitimate tax-exempt groups from those working to get candidates elected. The IRS officials decided to single out one type of political group for particular scrutiny. “These cases involve various local organizations in the Tea Party movement,” read one internal IRS e-mail sent at the time. A few hours north in Fremont, Ohio, the owners of a drainage supply shop, Tom and Marion Bower, were wondering why it was taking so long

The White House´s chief lawyer learned weeks ago that an audit of the Internal Revenue Service likely would show that agency employees inappropriately targeted conservative groups, a senior White House official said Sunday. That disclosure has prompted a debate over whether the president should have been notified at that time. In the week of April 22, the Office of the White House Counsel and its head, Kathryn Ruemmler, were told by Treasury Department attorneys that an inspector general´s report was nearing completion, the White House official said. In that conversation, Ms. Ruemmler learned that "a small

What did President Obama do on the evening of 9/11/12 when our men were under attack in Benghazi? The invaluable Andrew McCarthy reminds us that Obama and Secretary Clinton had a 10:00 p.m. phone call of which many (including, I think, Chris Wallace) have lost sight. This morning when Wallace asked Obama aide Dan Pfeiffer what Obama was up to that evening, Pfeiffer declared the line of inquiry “offensive.” Translation: Obama and his minions would prefer to “move on” and are warning the likes of FNC off:(Snip for video)The Weekly Standard’s Daniel Halper has posted the rush transcript

WASHINGTON - There were new questions Saturday night concerning if anyone in the White House was aware of the IRS´ targeting of conservative groups. Inspector General Russell George said he informed a deputy at the Treasury Department in June of 2012 about the probe into the IRS. The Treasury Department confirmed the timeline but said they did not know the details of the investigation until last week.(Snip)Marcus Owens ran the tax-exempt division at the IRS for 10 years. He said it isn´t difficult to figure out who´s doing what at the agency.

It began in earnest last Friday. A flash mob of latte drinking, tofu eating media that has done its best to quell, rather than fan the flames of truth, turned on one of their own. Jay Carney lay bludgeoned at the base of the podium, a victim of friendly fire. Ironically, the attack was reminiscent of the one in Benghazi he has repeatedly denied the Administration he represents bears any responsibility for. “Changed twelve times?!” came the cries. And with good reason. We were misled; no, lied to.

In the wake of one of the worst abuses of government power in recent history, many are rushing to frame the Internal Revenue Service scandal as simply an attack on conservative activists. That view risks creating a partisan political football and misses a fundamentally scarier abuse that exceeds the scandals of Watergate or any other prior government abuse. The IRS has admitted that since May 2010 it targeted grassroots-conservative organizations that had applied for tax-exempt status, unfairly subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny due to their political leanings. Such groups were told they were required to comply with IRS requests,

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

Washington – Sen. Claire McCaskill, D-MO, issued a video statement Friday in response to reports that the Internal Revenue Service unfairly targeted conservative nonprofit groups. (Snip) “There’s a reason Lady Justice wears a blindfold in America. That is because in America, we don’t apply the law based on who you are, who you know, or what you believe. We apply the law equally.” “We should not only fire the head of the IRS, which has occurred, but we’ve got to go down the line and find every single person who had anything to do with this and make sure
