ORIGINAL: thompsonx ORIGINAL: BamaD ORIGINAL: thompsonx This weekend a Democratic Senator was explaining that the problem here is due process. He said that as soon as we can figure a way around due process we will be al set. This week a republican senator was explaining that bamad was a terrorist welfare cheat and that as soon as we can figure out how to get past his viscious dog and his roscoe we will be all set. You will get a cite for this one when you post the cite for yours. I already did so where is your cite Gomer.. Well gomer it appears that I was right you were lying. The senator never said what you said he said. You lie just like bill's wife. The senator DID say what Bama said: The main sticking point to resolving congressional disputes over gun control is balancing the constitutional right to due process with the urgency to prevent future terrorist shootings like the one that claimed the lives of 49 people, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said Thursday. "The problem we have, and really the firewall we have right now is due process. It's all due process," Manchin said during a discussion on MSNBC's "Morning Joe." "So we can all say we want the same thing, but how do we get there?" Senate Majority Whip John Cornyn's (R-Texas) proposal would allow the attorney general to delay the purchase of a gun for up to three days, while Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) has introduced legislation that would require the attorney general to submit terror watch lists to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court as a check on power. "If a person is on the terrorist watch list like the gentleman, the shooter in Orlando, twice by the FBI, we were briefed yesterday about what happened but that man was brought in twice. They did everything they could," Manchin said. "The FBI did everything they were supposed to do but there was no way to keep him on the nix list or keep him off the gun buy list. There was no way to do that. So can’t we say that if a person under suspicion, there should be a five-year period of time that we have to see if good behavior, if this person continues the same traits, maybe we could come to that type of an agreement. But due process is what's killing us right now." http://www.politico.com/story/2016/06/joe-manchin-gun-control-224425 Oliver Darcy Jun. 16, 2016, 10:00 AM 5,548 25 A US senator bemoaned Thursday morning that the constitutional right to due process "is what's killing us right now." Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that the right to due process, guaranteed by the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution, had made it difficult to pass gun-control legislation denying those on the FBI's terror watch list the ability to purchase a firearm. "The firewall we have right now is due process," the West Virginia senator said. "It's all due process." In the aftermath of the Orlando terror attack, which claimed the lives of 49 people, Democrats have renewed calls for legislation aimed at blocking individuals on the terror watch list from being able to buy a gun. Republicans have argued against such legislation, contending it would be wrong to strip citizens of their Second Amendment right without being convicted of a crime. Manchin noted that the FBI "did everything they were supposed to do," but had "no way" of blocking the Orlando attacker from purchasing a firearm. The bureau conducted two investigations into the shooter, 29-year-old Omar Mateen, but closed both after determining he was not a threat. "There was no way to do that," he said. The senator floated the idea of enacting a five-year cooling period, something he said could perhaps garner bipartisan support. "So can't we say that if a person is under suspicion, there should be a five-year period of time that we have to see if good behavior, if this person continues the same traits?" he asked. "Maybe we can come to that kind of an agreement." He added: "But due process is what's killing us right now." http://www.businessinsider.com/joe-manchin-due-process-gun-control-2016-6 So now...where's YOUR cite for your snark? So he didnt say what Bama said, which is always the case and you helped prove it. Thanks CD. I don't know why you're thanking me...my post was in response to the idiocy Thompson posted. That was regarding something ELSE Bama said which Thompson claimed to be a lie. Absolutely nothing to do with your post.
