NRAILA.ORG 2 Days Ago Common Sense Prevails in West Virginia Common sense has prevailed. Criminal charges have been dropped against West Virginia teen Jared Marcum, who was suspended from his school and arrested when he refused to remove his National Rifle Association shirt. This case demonstrates the lengths to which anti-gun advocates will go to promote their agenda – not only attacking the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens, but also the First Amendment rights of those who support and value their Right to Keep and Bear arms. The National Rifle Association will continue our fight for our members and for all lawful gun owners in this country.

 SFGATE.COM 10 Hours Ago Judge blocks Mississippi open-carry gun law by  Emily Wagster Pettus JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — A state judge blocked Mississippi's open-carry gun law from taking effect next week, writing in a Friday ruling that the law was vague and that an injunction was needed to prevent irreparable harm. Hinds County Circuit Judge  Winston Kidd  scheduled a hearing July 8 to consider more arguments about whether to extend the injunction. Hinds County District Attorney  Robert Shuler Smith  requested that the law be blocked, and Kidd granted the temporary injunction during an emergency hearing. House Bill 2 clarifies that people in Mississippi don't need any kind of state-issued permit to carry a gun that's not concealed. The bill's main sponsor, Republican Rep.  Andy Gipson , of Braxton, said the law simply restates the state constitution's right to bear arms. But some sheriffs and police chiefs worry people could become trigger-happy and hurt ...

 BREITBART.COM 6 Hours Ago Three Things Mark Kelly Probably Won't Say On Upcoming Gun Control Tour by  AWR Hawkins  29 Jun 2013, 8:58 AM PDT  post a comment 1. The background check system prevented his purchase of a handgun in February 2. The current background check system prevented his purchase of an AR-15 in March 3. He keeps a "high capacity" magazine in a Glock 9mm. Regarding the first point, Kelly failed in his first attempt to purchase a .45 handgun from Diamondback Police Supply in Tucson, AZ in February because he brought the wrong ID into the store. Part of the background check laws currently in place require that an individual purchasing a handgun be a resident of the state in which he or she is purchasing it. Therefore, to buy a handgun in AZ you have to have an ID proving you are an AZ resident. When Kelly marched into Diamond Police Supply  he showed a Texas ID  and they told him they could not sell him a handgun. Regarding the second point, e...

 KANSASCITY.COM 3 Hours Ago Concealed carry law changes in Kansas begin Monday by  John Milburn TOPEKA — Starting Monday, licensed gun owners will be allowed to bring their concealed weapons into more government buildings in Kansas and people who try to bring them into places where they are prohibited won't face criminal penalties. The provisions are part of an expansion of Kansas' concealed carry law passed during last year's legislative session as the federal government was discussing gun-control measures in the wake of a mass shooting at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school in December. The new rules allow people with concealed carry permits to bring firearms into public buildings deemed not to have adequate security measures, such as metal detectors and trained guards. Those public buildings could include college and university campuses, though they – like local governments – can seek exemptions while they try to beef up security to a standard that would allow them to ba...

 NEWS.INVESTORS.COM 6 Hours Ago If Paula Deen Is Out, Please Explain Maher Larry Elder If Paula Deen is out because of her decades-old private use of the "n" word, what about its public and private use by MSNBC's Al Sharpton? What about HBO host Bill Maher's use of the "c" word? The crisis Deen must deal with confirms the observation of John O'Sullivan, a former editor of National Review: "White racism exists, but its social power is weak; the social power against it, overwhelming." Deen has — so far — lost her show on the Food Network and her spokesperson gig for Smithfield Foods. QVC, Sears, Wal-Mart and others are deciding whether to continue their relationship with the embattled chef. What did the 66-year-old native of Georgia do that now threatens their enterprises? In a deposition given in a harassment lawsuit filed by a white ex-employee at a Deen family-owned restaurant, Deen admitted using the "n-word" in the past, during a p...

 THEHILL.COM 4 Hours Ago Maher: Scalia 'more racist' than Paula Deen - The Hill's Blog Briefing Room by  Alexandra Jaffe By Alexandra Jaffe - 06/29/13 02:24 PM ET Tweet Liberal comedian and talk-show host Bill Maher said Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia was "more racist" than celebrity chef Paula Deen, who was recently pilloried for using the "n-word" in a private conversation that went public. On his show, HBO's "Real Time with Bill Maher," Maher quotes a comment Scalia made during oral arguments earlier this year when the Supreme Court heard the case on the Voting Rights Act that suggested a comparison between the Voting Rights Act and "racial entitlements." "Just the fact that he talks about black people voting as an entitlement, that is so much more racist than anything Paula Deen ever said," Maher said. The Supreme Court struck down a key part of the Voting Rights Act earlier this week, a move progressive activi...

 THEBLAZE.COM 4 Hours Ago Conservative Commentator Says Facebook Blocked Him Over 'Politically Incorrect' Post About the NRA, Paula Deen and Jesus by  Madeleine Morgenstern Conservative Fox News commentator Todd Starnes said Saturday he was  temporarily banned  from Facebook over a post he wrote extolling the National Rifle Association, Chick-fil-A and Paula Deen. Image source: Fox News "I'm about as politically incorrect as you can get," Starnes wrote. "I'm wearing an NRA ball cap, eating a Chick-fil-A sandwich, reading a Paula Deen cookbook and sipping a 20-ounce sweet tea while sitting in my Cracker Barrel rocking chair with the Gather Vocal Band singing 'Jesus Saves' on the stereo and a Gideon's Bible in my pocket. Yes sir, I'm politically incorrect and happy as a june bug." Starnes said the comment on his Facebook fan page garnered hundreds of comments, but was deleted by the social networking site with a message that it violated...

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Impeachment_in_the_United_States&oldid=561046708 The  impeachment trial of President Bill Clinton  in 1999, Chief Justice William Rehnquist  presiding. The House managers are seated beside the quarter-circular tables on the left and the president's personal counsel on the right, much in the fashion of President Andrew Johnson's trial. Impeachment in the United States  is an expressed power of the  legislature that allows for formal charges against a civil officer of government for crimes committed in office. The actual trial on those charges, and subsequent removal of an official on  conviction  on those charges, is separate from the act of impeachment  itself. Impeachment is analogous to  indictment  in regular court proceedings, while trial by the other house is analogous to the  trial  before  judge  and  jury  in regular courts. Typically, the  lower hou...
