Where are all the gun nuts arguing that Hunter Biden’s 2nd Amendment rights are being infringed upon? More dirtying up Biden(s) as Romney chooses to leave Senate
OK sports fans, this is a serious charge I know, and I don't make it lightly; but Hunter Biden's indictment seems very hard to square with normal DOJ practice and rather seems driven by the political outcry from Rs on the hill.

This development, wrote Rubin, is "an embarrassing and unnecessary early loss in the litigation from the Trump team."
wrote Rubin. But ultimately, "The effort wasby a federal judge. That's because Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, who's named in the suit along with Trump, would have also needed to want to move the case to federal court.That flaw in Trump’s removal attempt led Chief U.S. District Judge Philip Brimmer toit as 'defective' on Tuesday, sending it back to the state court."
Faced with a lawsuit seeking to declare him ineligible for office under the 14th Amendment, former President Donald Trump's legal team tried a stall tactic that they've used in several other cases. But this time, it collapsed quickly, wrote Jordan Rubin for MSNBC.

"A very large portion of my party really doesn't believe in the Constitution,” Mitt Romney told writer McKay Coppins as part of his forthcoming biography.
Over the last several years, Romney unburdened himself to McKay Coppins, whose book on Romney is excerpted in the Atlantic. It’s an extraordinary read, and a reminder of so much of what we’ve lost. A former governor, and the nominee of his party for president, Romney tried to warn his party against the dangers of Trumpism and became the first senator in U.S. history to vote to convict a president of his own party. He did it twice; and if a handful of his colleagues had followed his lead, we would be living in a different world today.
Instead, he’s joining Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, and a handful of other principled conservatives, in exile.

The first piece I ever wrote for The Bulwark was about Romney and his quixotic effort to pull the GOP back from the full embrace of the Trump presidency: “What Romney Exposed About Late-Stage Trumpism.”
Romney’s central heresy was his observation that “policies and appointments are only a part of a presidency.”
To a great degree, a presidency shapes the public character of the nation. A president should unite us and inspire us to follow “our better angels.” A president should demonstrate the essential qualities of honesty and integrity, and elevate the national discourse with comity and mutual respect. As a nation, we have been blessed with presidents who have called on the greatness of the American spirit. With the nation so divided, resentful and angry, presidential leadership in qualities of character is indispensable.
As I noted back in 2019, not only is this passage not especially controversial—it was almost a boilerplate restatement of what conservatives have claimed to believe for decades.
