Apparently the challenges facing the country are going to take a back seat in an Obama administration.
Democratic vice-presidential nominee Joe Biden said yesterday that he and running mate Barack Obama could pursue criminal charges against the Bush administration if they are elected in November.
If this is what their political instincts are, I don't think we're going to have to worry about an Obama administration.

BREAKING: We just filed a motion asking the Ninth Circuit to lift the stay in our lawsuit challenging California's ban on so-called "assault weapons," which, if granted, would allow the judgment striking down the ban to go into effect. Read it here: https://www.firearmspolicy.org/miller
Stole the image from a reddit post, but it appears to be an accurate summary.
The losers in Sacramento are throwing a temper tantrum in response to the ruling in Bruen. Now that they have to issue carry permits, they want to make basically everywhere a "sensitive place".
It's cool that they are pretty much admitting gun control policy is based on feelings, not data.
The data is clear that people with carry permits rarely commit crime. In fact it's not merely "clear", it's overwhelming. https://twitter.com/AnneMcCloyNews/status/1542285958703366146
Anne: Do you have numbers to show that it’s the concealed carry permit holders that are committing crimes?
Hochul: I don’t need to have numbers. I don’t need to have a data point to say this. I know that I have a responsibility for this state to have sensible gun safety laws.
Guarantee this wasn't a licensed concealed carrier who committed the crime. NY's laws just make more victims.
BREAKING: Woman shot once in the head while walking with baby in stroller at 8:23pm on E. 95th Street by Lexington Ave. Rushed to hospital in unknown condition. Baby unharmed. Appears to be her child. Man in all black, hoodie walked up from behind. Mayor en route.
This sort of blather about prosecution occurs before every election. Republicans and decent people horrified at corruption talked about prosecuting the Clintons or their staff for theft, vandalism, selling pardons, etc. While I hate seeing corruption given a free pass, politicians prosecuting each other for real crimes which are stand-ins for policy differences will undermine our democracy.
