21. LOL! If only your humor were intentional.

Holder didn't actually say "the Fortune article is wrong."


Sigh.

Nevertheless, he discredits it, as do Democratic Congress members.

I once showed you, in detail, that the first time the Supreme Court spoke to the Second Amendment, it stated the (unremarkable and uncontroversial) fact that the right of the people was personal and showed clearly that it was not understood to be limited in any way by militia service. I also showed you by direct quotation and the clearest historical facts that the framers of the Fourteenth Amendment set out intentionally to protect a personal right to carry guns that does not depend on militia service, and to protect it specifically against the entities that controlled the militias--the states.

The Court and the Framers discredited your silly argument that the right as currently understood and protected was the product of Scalia and a right wing Court.

You see the Court and Framers showed, beyond the shadow of a doubt, that you either didn't know what you were talking about or you were lying. The fact that they weren't called from their graves to pronounce solemnly...

DanTex has no clue what he is talking about on the Second and Fourteenth Amendments or he is lying


...does not mean that their words don't discredit your "Scalia Theory."

Also, unlike the Fortune reporter, Holder didn't personally conduct an investigation of F&F.


So? What has that to do with the melt rate of the glaciers?

Holder had a team of professional investigators at his disposal, people who, like their boss, would have been loathe to falsely admit to wrongdoing in his department. People who could be authorized with COMPLETE access to the entire department(s). People who ALL agents could be compelled to talk to.

This is where the capacity for elementary logic would come in handy...


True, but I've just about given up hope for you.

ETA: It is a nice change of pace to see you citing a Democrat for once. This is the first time I've ever seen it!


Hmmmm...

Here's you answering my citation of Democrats in July:

Here I am citing a "wacko" who certainly sounds like a Democrat to me, but I'm sure you think she's a drooling, right-wing, gun blogging lunatic:

Obviously a right wing wacko of the first order, right? Probably a tea party activist and gun blogger, too.

Whatever it takes.
