As we've discussed before, countless times, a LIbEral doesn't care about
other people's rights, just his or her own. All one has to do is look at
their reaction to the 2nd Ammendment.
THAT Ammendment, as they see it, is NOT for the average citizen, despite
a Supreme Court ruling defining the phrase "right of the people" to mean
exactly what we know it to be.
But Robert, it would make it "necessary" for Dufus to turn over the
papers, logs, etc. And he doesn't WANT to. HE's the President after all,
and is above the law. Any doubt? Just ask him or Hitlary, or "The Ragin'

Write your reply.

assistant: Walt, you forgot the Lauttenberg ammendment making the possession of a
firearm by someone convicted of a crime of "domestic violence", illegal.
THAT lovely piece of LIbEral legislation is retroactive as well.
Cops, who had been hired by departments AFTER their moment of stupidity,
found themselves in danger of losing their jobs.
Granted, domestic violence is not acceptable. However, to make a law
retroactive simply for political gain is just plain wrong. In fact,
making a law retroactive, generally, is improper.
There are some immigration laws that ARE retroactive. The definition of
"aggravated felony" has been expanded to include, among other crimes,
theft related offenses for which a sentence of one year or more in jail
was imposed (suspended sentences count).
It makes no difference as to when that conviction occurred. If it
happened, the offending alien is now an aggravated felon in the eyes of
the law. And as such, is removable.

Obtaining EVIDENCE that is admissible in a court of law. Once he does

Obviously you are a firm believer in trial by innuendo. Next you'll tell

What Tom said was WHICH statements from Robert Plett constituted "double
talk". Since you haven't told us which statements, in YOUR opinion,

any that are.
Looking up the word "double-talk" in the dictionary, although a major
