Feinstein to Cruz: Do you know who I am?

I can hear it now: I'm Diane Feinstein: I was banning guns when you were banging cheerleaders.  Check out this heated exchange between the two Senators yesterday:

Left this message to Sen. Fienstein. I am so sick if those self righteous gun-grabbers of the common folk by those who wouldn't consider give up their armed body guards.

The 2nd Amendment says MY RIGHT TO DEFEND MYSELF SHALl NOT BE INFRINGED. That means YOU CAN'T GET CLOSE TO MY RIGHT TO DEFEND MYSELF. You may not be a sixth grader, but your logic is CERTAINLY messaging on that level of stupidity.

When you find it necessary to account for your status by giving us the details about how long you have served the public, you lose your argument to something less than logical! To be away from mixing with the general public as long as you have, you no longer have the justification to serve in Congress as Richard Luger learned so profoundly.

Come home to California and meet the real people.

There were no winners in that exchange.
Both came across as pompous and patronizing.

That is your problem. You see the world as winners and losers.

Sen. Feinstein is not an attorney and she is a bit sensitive on that. District court in Washington was created by the Federalists and is a frequent national testing ground which it was for the Heller case. Searches, privacy, speech, etc all have tested exemptions. Citizens with a fondness for heavy weapons will face some limitations, but Sen. Cruz and others are secure and should not get paranoid yet.

8:16 am don't be silly
That was a turn of phrase, not a world view.
They both came across as patronizing and pompous to those who are not rabidly partisan.

Diane Feinstein says:

"I was a Mayor for nine years. I walked in, I saw people shot. I've looked at bodies that have been shot with these weapons."

She then goes on to compare her personal experience with murder in San Francisco to Sandy Hook, dismembered childrens' bodies, etc. She specifically mentions "weapons of war".

The dead bodies Feinstein saw where George Moscone's and Harvey Milk's.

Their murderer, Dan White, pumped two rounds into Moscone's chest from point blank and then straddled his body on the floor, leaned over and put two more slugs into Moscone's head.

White shot Milk from only feet away in the gut, in the chest, in the back, into the base of his skull and placed a fifth shot, point blank, into Milk's head.

Dan White used a 2 inch .38 revolver and reloaded between murders. Dan White did not kill using a weapon of war.

You come off as pompous 9:01 AM.

If you watch and listen carefully you see and hear what the liberal plan is. Dick Durbin at 5:40 - "none of these rights are absolute".

Cruz is doing the right thing here to push back. Liberals have chipped away at the constitution structure since it was put in place. Now they are salivating profusely because they are one election away from shredding it completely.

These folks are coming after guns, and anything else they can get.

Having watched a good bit more of the hearings than included in the video clip presented here, my takeaway was that Leahy, Feinstein, Durbin and Schumer were clearly threatened by Senator Cruz’s sound constitutional arguments.

Wouldn’t it be encouraging if Mississippi’s senators would exhibit the same integrity regarding their oaths to uphold the US Constitution as does Senator Cruz?

I thought it was a pretty good point to follow the comparison to specify that some forms--- (granted not many) of pornography
are not permitted and is not considered an attack on the 1st amendment...

oh, and I am no fan of feinstein

Anon 10:22 - “I thought it was a pretty good point to follow the comparison to specify that some forms--- (granted not many) of pornography
are not permitted and is not considered an attack on the 1st amendment...”

The “pornography” argument is probably consistent with the spirit of the 1st amendment; but restricting the capacity of a “well regulated Militia, … necessary to the security of a free State…” by restricting certain weapons, as the Democrats are proposing, is clearly not consistent with the spirit – nor the letter – of the 2nd amendment.

As such, the Democrat porno argument is irrelevant to the question that Senator Cruz posed to Senator Feinstein.

2nd Amendment: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

oh, and I am not an owner of bullet guns...

9:06 am ( laughing) perhaps that's why I can recognize it in others ( still laughing)
Really, is that the best you can do?

What burns me up is Feinstein and others saying we don't "need" certain types of weapons. Who the Hell does she think she is to tell me what I need? She also said something about bazookas. Where can I buy one now?

Methinks the greatest constitutional threat is in the area of privacy. Our tech & communications companies were protesting EU laws that hamper Microsoft, Google, etc information gathering. Private citizens in every industrialized country are under threat from these companies and secondarily the United States security leviathan. They won't take away your guns when they know everything your up to anyway.

No one needs or should be allowed to own an assault rifle. Or a pit bull for that matter. I agree with the Senator from California.

And Mississippi needs a new RESPECTFUL flag. Not this Civil War SHIT.

My pit bull has an assault rifle.

The Mississippi flag is beautiful and very respectful. It will not be changed. Book it.

Can't argue that 4:19. Our rednecks are too busy with "personhood revival" to get caught up in that.

No one needs or should be allowed to say things that offend someone else. Or a Chinese Crested, for that matter. I agree with 3:45

Thank you 3:45 for having the guts to say the obvious on this red meat usite. PEOPLE. Google "Gun deaths by country" and see where we are compared to countries of the world with reasonable gun laws. This is insane.

Anonymous said...

7:25 I did. According to Wikipedia, the more Hispanic or black the country, other OTHER than the US, the higher the gun violence. Thanks for the tip.

on the other hand, google "beheadings by country" or "individual rights by country" or .....

Keep drinking the kook aid....yes kook aid 7:54. I guess you think we are the only "free country" in the world as well. Try CANADA. Individual rights. Ignorance is BLISS. REGULATE NUTS AND WEAPONS. The fruitcake NRA doesn't want background checks. BACKGROUND CHECKS. Splain that!!!

pass the "kook aid" and I'll have some.... oh, wait... you are already drunk on it and it's gone

I did try Canada, Dry, once... but I'm more intrigued by this "kook aid". It seems to make you really hallucinagenic

let me "splain"... we already have background checks

Why stop with assault weapons?
If we have to fight off an army, we should each have our own tanks and bombers and wait, I want my own missle.
Hmmm...better put razor wire and mines around the house so I'll have time to grab my assault rifle if there's a surprise attack.
Who in my family will I send out on point when I grocery shop so I can avoid a surprise ambush?
No wait, I'll stock up on supplies so I can't be subject to a siege.
I'll bet I could get lots of fish to belly up with a grenade!!!
And, I'll freeze them and make sure I have plenty of gas for the generator.
Gosh, if only those crazy farmers moving into the Wild West hadn't made all those annoying laws about not bringing your guns into town, we could still be having so much fun with shoot outs and I'll bet I could have my own little tribal army just like those lucky folks in Somalia!

Looks like .410 needs to consider firing a larger caliber at us, y'all. Either respect the Mississippi flag, or GTFO. We voted twice, you lost - twice. Get over it.

We voted once numb nuts. LETS VOTE AGAIN.

poor 10:08

simply hates law

individuals already own tanks, "bombers", missiles, razor wire and mines.

but let's keep making laws, based on emotion, that only affects the law-abiding... oh, wait, if you make a law and the law abiding don't abide by that law then they become outlaws, right?

Maybe we should make a law about stupidity and 10:08 can be an outlaw.... wait, dadgummit. Every citizen of age in the United States is an outlaw. We have so many laws on the books that nearly every day over half of the U.S. is breaking some law.

I say we outlaw red 2 door cars. They kill people and I don't like them and no one needs a red 2 door car.

11:23 GOOGLE HANDGUN DEATHS BY COUNTRY AND COME BACK AND EXPLAIN WTF IS HAPPENING HERE COMPARED TO THE SANE COUNTRIES WITH REGARDS TO GUN OWNERSHIP. You have a right to own a gun, but America needs responsible ownership regulations. HINT LIKE THE REST OF THE CIVILIZED WORLD.

11:23 AM...you miss sarcasm

Move to Somalia...no irritating central government to curb your baser instincts!

Nor is there any law to make you remain civilized.

Question: Do we still have an ad hoc " we'll regulated militia"? Did the framers anticipate a national Army and UZI's? A MILITIA????

Kingfish said...

No the the framers were familiar with the fall of the Roman Republic considered the rise of the standing professional army to be one of the main reasons freedom was lost as it converted to an empire. They also respected the citizen soldier armies of Athens and other city states. They definitely wanted a counter-balance to a standing army in case anyone got any ideas.

838 what has your "see how smart I am" rant have to do with sensible gun laws. Typical redneck change the subject BS.

leigh said...

8:10 I think that your suggestions just might make staying in the city of Jackson an option. Thank you!

Anonymous said...

I don't want to take away your guns.

I just want you to be licensed and registered just like you are with your car.

I want you to be competent and if your gun is found at a crime scene , I want to know if you used it or reported it stolen.

With lap tops and WiFi, there's no excuse for private sales to be unable to do what the retailers do.

And, THAT is really what this is all about...closing the gun show loophole. On licensing and registration, the horse has left the barn. YOU have to have a permit even in RED states like Mississippi.

So Diaz little diatribe on the Constitution was for the cameras and those of you who apparently live in fear.





Anonymous said...

9:09 permit for what? Owning a gun....I agree with you completely, except the permit part is wrong.

Anonymous said...

What YOU want has nothing to do with what the U.S. and MS constitutions state with regards to bearing arms.

YOU want to control someone else, period.

Anonymous said...

And YOU 11:12 want to IGNORE the obvious. ALL GUNS, LIKE AUTOMOBLES, AIRPLANES ETC SHOLD BE REGISTERED AND A SAFETY COURSE PASSED TO OPERATE SAME.

looks like some people need a license and to take a course before they opine or exercise their free speech right.

Trollfest '09

Trollfest '07 was such a success that Jackson Jambalaya will once again host Trollfest '09. Catch this great event which will leave NE Jackson & Fondren in flames. Othor Cain and his band, The Black Power Structure headline the night while Sonjay Poontang returns for an encore performance. Former Frank Melton bodyguard Marcus Wright makes his premier appearance at Trollfest singing "I'm a Sweet Transvestite" from "The Rocky Horror Picture Show." Kamikaze will sing his new hit, “How I sold out to da Man.” Robbie Bell again performs: “Mamas, don't let your babies grow up to be Bells” and “Any friend of Ed Peters is a friend of mine”. After the show, Ms. Bell will autograph copies of her mug shot photos. In a salute to “Dancing with the Stars”, Ms. Bell and Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith will dance the Wango Tango.

Wrestling returns, except this time it will be a Battle Royal with Othor Cain, Ben Allen, Kim Wade, Haley Fisackerly, Alan Lange, and “Big Cat” Donna Ladd all in the ring at the same time. The Battle Royal will be in a steel cage, no time limit, no referee, and the losers must leave town. Marshand Crisler will be the honorary referee (as it gives him a title without actually having to do anything).


Meet KIM Waaaaaade at the Entergy Tent. For five pesos, Kim will sell you a chance to win a deed to a crack house on Ridgeway Street stuffed in the Howard Industries pinata. Don't worry if the pinata is beaten to shreds, as Mr. Wade has Jose, Emmanuel, and Carlos, all illegal immigrants, available as replacements for the it. Upon leaving the Entergy tent, fig leaves will be available in case Entergy literally takes everything you have as part of its Trollfest ticket price adjustment charge.

Donna Ladd of The Jackson Free Press will give several classes on learning how to write. Smearing, writing without factchecking, and reporting only one side of a story will be covered. A donation to pay their taxes will be accepted and she will be signing copies of their former federal tax liens. Ms. Ladd will give a dramatic reading of her two award-winning essays (They received The Jackson Free Press "Best Of" awards.) "Why everything is always about me" and "Why I cover murders better than anyone else in Jackson".

In the spirit of helping those who are less fortunate, Trollfest '09 adopts a cause for which a portion of the proceeds and donations will be donated: Keeping Frank Melton in his home. The “Keep Frank Melton From Being Homeless” booth will sell chances for five dollars to pin the tail on the jackass. John Reeves has graciously volunteered to be the jackass for this honorable excursion into saving Frank's ass. What's an ass between two friends after all? If Mr. Reeves is unable to um, perform, Speaker Billy McCoy has also volunteered as when the word “jackass” was mentioned he immediately ran as fast as he could to sign up.


In order to help clean up the legal profession, Adam Kilgore of the Mississippi Bar will be giving away free, round-trip plane tickets to the North Pole where they keep their bar complaint forms (which are NOT available online). If you don't want to go to the North Pole, you can enjoy Brant Brantley's (of the Mississippi Commission on Judicial Performance) free guided tours of the quicksand field over by High Street where all complaints against judges disappear. If for some reason you are unable to control yourself, never fear; Judge Houston Patton will operate his jail where no lawyers are needed or allowed as you just sit there for minutes... hours.... months...years until he decides he is tired of you sitting in his jail. Do not think Judge Patton is a bad judge however as he plans to serve free Mad Dog 20/20 to all inmates.

Trollfest '09 is a pet-friendly event as well. Feel free to bring your dog with you and do not worry if your pet gets hungry, as employees of the Jackson Zoo will be on hand to provide some of their animals as food when it gets to be feeding time for your little loved one.

Relax at the Fox News Tent. Since there are only three blonde reporters in Jackson (being blonde is a requirement for working at Fox News), Megan and Kathryn from WAPT and Wendy from WLBT will be on loan to Fox. To gain admittance to the VIP section, bring either your Republican Party ID card or a Rebel Flag. Bringing both and a torn-up Obama yard sign will entitle you to free drinks served by Megan, Wendy, and Kathryn. Get your tickets now. Since this is an event for trolls, no ID is required. Just bring the hate. Bring the family, Trollfest '09 is for EVERYONE!!!

This is definitely a Beaver production.

Robbie Bell will perform Her two latest songs: My Best Friends are in the Media and Mama's, Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be George Bell. Sid Salter of The Clarion-Ledger will host "Pin the Tail on the Trial Lawyer", sponsored by State Farm.
