Pesky Will of the People Interferes with Gun Bans

Daniel White has an Examiner.com article that fisks a statement by Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell here.

Rendell posits that if there was a "secret ballot" cast, his gun control schemes would easily pass congress. The insinuation there is that congress really wants gun control, but is fearful of facing their constituents after voting away their rights. That is exactly what happened after the 1994 AWB was passed when 20 Democrats who voted in favor of the ban were ousted in the next election. Then president Bill Clinton blamed the loss on retribution by constituents for passing a ban they did not want.

The implications for both Rendell, and the members of Congress who he says feel similarly are not good. What he is talking about here is a violation of the oath Congressman take to uphold and defend the Constitution (I would add as it is, not as "Living Document" proponents wish it to be.)

Rendell should be removed from office for violating the oath of office for even
suggesting otherwise.

But of course, he won't be. Only so called "Liberals" go after folks after the fact for their political decisions.
