We should change the optics on the gun issue.

Chuck Schumer should put a gun regulation bill on the floor of the Senate every week if not every day. Nancy needs to do the same in the House. Most of the ones in the house will pass. Yes, I know they won't pass in the Senate. But by not bringing bills to a vote it looks to many who do not follow politics as closely as we do like we are doing nothing.

Let's change "Democrats doing nothing" to "Republicans obstructing", and Biden could hit them with it every time he steps in front of a microphone. This is the best opportunity we have had to do this since the Brady bill.

I have never visited this group before, but would like to hear your opinions.

The San Francisco organizers of the Pride Parade has decided to ban LGBT police officers from wearing their uniforms in the parade. They will boycott the parade, and so will the fire department, the Mayor and some other LGBT political dignitaries.

I am not LGBT but grew up in the San Francisco bay area.

I haven't had any problems yet, but I've thought of a great answer

if anyone says anything rude to me about why I am wearing a mask. And it won't piss anyone off or cause any escalation to the situation.

I'll just say "I wear it because it keeps beautiful women from walking up to me, throwing their arms around me and kissing me on the lips. It's a problem I've had all my life and I finally found a solution."

So, if getting an abortion will be illegal in some places,

How will this be enforced? How can any arm of law enforcement know some one got an abortion without medical professionals violating HIPAA laws?

I wonder if any judge has ever considered

That the framers of the constitution did not consider an unborn fetus to have the same status as a live baby since they clearly said to be a citizen you had to be BORN in the United States. They definitely had a specific idea about the timeline.

I'm no legal expert, but I think there is an argument to be made.
