As Minnesotans are talking about how to address gun violence, it’s important to not overlook the facts-
"I'm scared of good guys with guns. I think a school is my best chance at not being shot at."
Those words are from the journal of the Minneapolis school shooter.

How long until MAGA starts pitching the idea that the solution to the ‘rigged’ census is to simply reinstate the original language of Article 1.
‘three fifths of all other persons’
‘three fifths of all other persons’
Let me expand on this point. The Constitution is quite clear that you can't distinguish between kinds of persons in running the Census. And that is especially about apportionment for Congress. The original language makes it pretty clear when it talks about "free persons". But the 14th amendment ...
As Wessel states, now bulldozing the Census. It's critical to note that not counting people "in our Country illegally" violates the constitution. It doesn't speak of citizens or legal status, simply "the whole number of free persons".

Oh, yes, just like the courts saved us last time.
Seriously - that's utterly meaningless since the Constitution would have to be amended to let him run again. If MAGA think a resolution has the force of law, well, the courts will remind them it does not.
