    Was that being ironic or some attempt at a joke? You just described EXACTLY what happened with the US PATRIOT act apart from using the word "stupid" a lot. It was rushed through before anyone other than the drafters knew what was in it.

    Also going on about stupidity just above a sig about ESP is ... interesting.

    Glad we agree. Then Hillary Clinton should have been prosecuted under the Espionage Act for mishandling classified information through negligence.

    Your examples have NOTHING to do with the second amendment.

    Felons lose rights

    But never their Constitutional rights otherwise cruel and unusual punishment would be fair game.
    Try harder or just give up, that NRA inspired line is ridiculous and has been fed to you by someone who sold weapons to terrorists who had killed more than a hundred US Marines less that a year earlier.

    to justify removing rights for everyone

    How am I going to do that? If it's REALLY in the Constitution I can't remove it can I? Don't accuse me of doing something I cannot do.

    People thought the same thing about Thatcher, until she got so toxic her own party had to force her out

    That mechanism of removal due to a party having no confidence in a leader doesn't apply in the USA. Even if all of Congress wants him gone it's still a slow process.

    If that amendment was really about owning guns you'd have to hand the guns in at 45 wouldn't you? If it was really about owning guns then male felons could own guns, in prison, but no woman could.

    Your right to own a gun comes from somewhere other than the second amendment so you can keep it after you turn 45.

    Anyway, that's getting off the point of the NRA being run by someone that's the closest thing to a traitor in the USA who is still alive. The sad thing is the only one that went to jail over Iran-Contra is the fence building contractor who was paid with money that North embezzled.

    but if anyone does start a pool on Trump's departure from DC

    Four to eight years or when it gets dragged out of his cold, dead hands. He's not the sort of guy to resign over a scandal no matter how large and an impeachment could be dragged out over four years.
    Before people suggest that I'm morbid or suggesting Trump's "second amendment solution" I'll point out that I wrote that because I can't see Trump doing a Castro and resigning if bedridden.

    No that was Trump's earlier campaign manager, Paul Manafort, who did PR work for Russian separatists in Ukraine and was paid by the Russian government for it. He quit and was replaced by Bannon because of that taint.

    The true wierdness is that there is no crisis but they choose to create one (or several) by their actions. The immigration artificial emergency must have cost airlines and all the rest millions.
    I'm not sure this attempt to recover by appointing General Kellogg is the best option either - picking someone who left the military a dozen years ago seems a bit odd no matter what their record was. Maybe the selection pool is limited to personal friends of Trump - that explains picking a Judge with only ten years of experience to the Supreme Court instead of the most experienced one that could be found.
