Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush (R) said Friday afternoon that a hypothetical Hillary Clinton presidency would effectively end the Second Amendment.
Bush made the comment at the “Faith And Family” forum in South Carolina, where the forum hosts asked Bush how he would approach the appointment of Supreme Court justices. The next President could end up appointing as many as four justices to the nation’s highest court.
“If Hillary Clinton gets the four Supreme Court justices, the Second Amendment won’t exist,” Bush said. “It just won’t.”
I swear we heard the same thing in 2008, and 2012, about Obama, who has been wildly ineffective at taking away guns. There are more guns out there now because of fears stoked by conservatives that Obama would take away the guns. You’d figure people would pick up on the reality, but I guess they are too afraid to face reality in general.
Won’t exist in an Acronym Presidency, either. Since there will never be an Acronym Presidency. Something can’t exist in a vacuum.
It’s funny that che thinks that a Democratic president is going to get four justices rather easily.
“yeh”
He’s really just beating the air, isn’t he? We might just be watching the simultaneous death throes of the establishment Republican Party and movement conservatism this year. They’ve got nothing new to offer, which is why the base is so taken with two obvious caricatures of right-wing politics; they’re bound hand and foot to an electorate that is shrinking inexorably; and they can’t compete among themselves except by continually turning up the dial on obvious paranoid fantasies.
I’m still very worried about the short term, but this does not look like a political movement with a long-term future.
If Alberta Rafael or Drumpf are the Republican nominee, the question becomes how many Senate sets will they take down with them when they lose? Entirely possible that a Clinton Presidency could have a Democratic majority Senate to work with.
