The Constitution has been cast aside repeatedly by a Democrat who doesn't qualify for the office; that's enough to get any American upset, so the GOP is rightly so. Mr Murphy's comment is offbase.
As to Ms DeLauro, left-handed compliments are better left unsaid; as my Daddy, a WW2 GI and member of the Greatest Generation, used to say, if you don't have anything good to say, keep your mouth shut.

Why is it the panel for this event does not include a single advocate for gun-owners' rights? WithRead More all due respect to Chief McNamara, why does the panel no include a person who can speak to gun safety from a gun-owning civilian's perspective? ML, you claim that the assembled folks "do not offer judgements about gun ownership" but they are not including a single voice that can offer perspective on gun ownership. I have been to "education" sessions sponsored by Meg's March for Change and they are one-sided indoctrinations into gun control advocacy. >>>> I was in Hartford for the public hearings in January when both Meg and March co-founder Nancy gave their personal testimonies and they all but threatened the legislators on the panel with election day retribution for all those who did not tow the gun-control line of thinking (i.e. March and CAGV). To suggest that Meg "does not offer judgements" is fallacious and disingenuous.
