Durbin Shows He Didn’t Read Barrett’s Dissent on Felons Owning Guns

Posted by Mary Chastain on October 13, 2020 20 Comments

Hey, Sen. Dick Durbin. When you try to mansplain a judge's opinion to said judge, maybe you should read it. Durbin could not believe Barrett thinks felons should own guns! Except, you know, she didn't.

“It hurts my soul”: Sen. Tim Scott after Sen. Dick Durbin calls his police reform bill a “token process”

Posted by Kemberlee Kaye on June 17, 2020 24 Comments

Democrats can't help themselves when it comes to Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC). Last week, I blogged about police training reform bill, the Justice Act, headed up by Sen. Tim Scott and the fact that because he was manning the reform bill, he was under constant assault by detractors calling him a "token" face of the bill.

Democrats: Trump must capitulate on DACA “to prove you’re not prejudiced or bigoted”

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 16, 2018 153 Comments

Dick Durbin's claim that Donald Trump referred to "s***hole" non-white countries during a closed door DACA negotiation has lit a fire. It appears to be part of a strategy from Durbin and Democrats to walk away from a DACA deal unless they get what they want (primarily amnesty without any changes in immigration practices or border enforcement), preferring to make this a racial issue. I covered this in my post, Dick Durbin blew up DACA, deliberately:

Dick Durbin blew up DACA, deliberately

Posted by William A. Jacobson on January 15, 2018 56 Comments

Democrats and the media think they have the golden bullet to take down Trump, in the form of the "s--thole" comment during DACA negotiations behind closed doors. There are conflicting claims and reports as to whether the term was used, and to whom he was referring if it were used. Original reports said it was mentioned in relation to Haiti, but that has been walked back. Whether you agree with the comment or not, assuming it were used, it hardly merits the current obsession, with no sign of letting up. It's 24/7. Many Republicans are asking only "how high" they have to jump in condemning Trump.

UPDATE: Senators Now Call for Franken’s Resignation After Seventh Woman Comes Forward

Posted by Mary Chastain on December 06, 2017 28 Comments

Early this morning, Politico reported a seventh woman has accused Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) of sexual misconduct. She claimed he tried to forcibly kiss her. The "zero tolerance" senators have finally called for him to resign...after the seventh accuser. When the woman fled the room, Franken told her, "It's my right as an entertainer."
