** Blumenthal: Republicans Are ‘Putting Guns Above Children’
------------------------------------------------------------
------------------------------------------------------------
Wednesday on MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell Reports ([link removed]) , Sen. Richard Blumenthal ([link removed]) (D-CT) had the gall to claim that Republican lawmakers who don’t work with Democrats to address mass shootings that take place in the United States were “putting guns above children.”
Blumenthal said, “If this tragedy doesn’t crystallize your sense of conscience, then you’re putting guns above children. That’s what I would say to colleagues who are ducking their obligation to vote on real gun violence prevention. Law enforcement believes that arming teachers would actually increase the dangers of potential tragedies. And the fact that there were human resource officers in this school shows that we need to take action before the shooting starts, not after this kind of apparently somewhat deranged person suffering from perhaps mental health issues, took this gun and committed this atrocity.”
He added, “So separating that person from a gun before he approached the school is the opportunity — a moment of potential separation of that gun from that individual that we should provide in the law is available. Strengthen those laws, like red flag statutes or background checks that potentially stop the gun violence before it starts, not relying on more guns in schools.”
Disgusting demagogues like Blumenthal don’t care about the children at all, except as an opportunity to aggrandize power by infringing on constitutional rights and moving toward the banning of guns.

** Calling for Congress to Permanently Enshrine Roe v. Wade As Law
------------------------------------------------------------
On May 2, 2022, Politico reported ([link removed]) that an unidentified individual had leaked an initial draft ([link removed]) of a 5-4 majority opinion, written by Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito, in which the Court had decided to strike down the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. “No draft decision in the modern history of the court has been disclosed publicly while a case was still pending,” said Politico. Whereas Roe had guaranteed federal constitutional protections for abortion rights, the new ruling would return responsibility for those rights to each individual state. “Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,” Alito wrote in his opinion, adding: “We hold that Roe and Casey [a 1992 decision that largely reaffirmed the rights set forth in Roe] must be overruled. It is time to heed the Constitution and return the
issue of abortion to the people’s elected representatives.”
Outraged by the news of the Court’s decision, Blumenthal spoke ([link removed]) at a pro-abortion rally on May 9, 2022, where he exhorted Congress to pass the Women’s Health Protection Act ([link removed]) of 2022 to circumvent the Court ruling and permanently safeguard abortion rights for women across the United States. This legislation, which Blumenthal himself introduced ([link removed]) in the Senate, would legalize abortion-on-demand from the point of conception through the very end of pregnancy.
