Stand-Your-Ground Laws

As Glenn says, Hollywood dumbasses.

In addition to his points, a) there’s nothing wrong with stand-your-ground laws and b) the Zimmerman case had nothing to do with stand your ground.

These morons just can’t stand the notion that people should be able to defend themselves.

Hey, remember when Barack Obama supported stand-your-ground laws? Well, neither does he. To repeat: dumbasses.

OK, you’ll be as unsurprised as I am to learn that John McCain has decided to become one of the dumbasses.

Let’s Repeal Some Laws

I’m shocked to find myself in agreement with John Boehner:

House Speaker John Boehner says Congress “should not be judged on how many new laws we create” but on “how many laws … we repeal.”

Yes. We have too damn many federal laws, more (as he notes) than we have the resources to enforce and more than are needed to make all of us multiple felons every day. I’ll vote for the guy who promises to gut the federal code. Moreover, the notion that we should judge a legislator’s record on how many laws he passes (or has his/her name attached to) is as stupid as judging a diplomat on how many treaties he signs. The quality of the output is much more important than the quantity.
