SCOTUS: ENFORCEMENT OR IRRELEVANCE
Pigpen51 left a comment on an earlier column regarding the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals complicity in California’s brazen violations of the Constitution. He thinks the Supreme Court needs to make some rulings with absolutely no wiggle room to allow California — and like-minded oathbreakers — to continue enforcing bad laws.

Charges For Jamaal?
Don’t hold your breath.
Jamaal Bowman [Dumbfuck-NY] attempted to delay a House vote yesterday by seeting off a firearm alarm. Sane people are getting pretty vocal about charging him. Dimocrats seem to be pretty quiet on the subject of Bowman.
Jamaal himself, however, doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut.
Today, as I was rushing to make a vote, I came to a door that is usually open for votes but today would not open. I am embarrassed to admit that I activated the fire alarm, mistakenly thinking it would open the door.
There are some problems with that claim.
Most obviously, one does not open doors by tripping fire alarms; a school principal who oversaw fire drills for ten years ought to know that. Next, the doors are marked for emergency use only (at first). Then there’s the inconvenient — for Bowman –fact that those are second floor doors.

Second floor doors all seem to open onto balconies, not stairs. I haven’t seen the Cannon building in person in decades, so if someone does know of some second floor exterior stairs, let us know in comments. So it seems extremely unlikely that those doors are normally used to get to the Capitol building in a hurry for floor votes.
As for the “emergency” signs on the doors, video reportedly shows Bowman tearing them off. Vandalism.
And finally, rather than exit through those “usual” doors and rapelling to the ground or whatever, after pulling the wall alarm, Bowman ran away and downstairs to the first floor where he exited the building.
Now, Jamaal’s a Dim, and DC and the DOJ are run by his fellow Dims, so it’s not bloody likely he’ll face any charges unless enough people get angry enough. But let’s take a look at some charges he could face if he had been wearing a MAGA hat.
- DC Code § 22–303: Malicious burning, destruction, or injury of another’s property; misdemeanor, fine and six months in jail.
- DC Code § 22–1319: False alarms and false reports; misdemeanor, good for a $1,000 fine and six months in jail.
- 18 U.S. Code § 1361: Misdemeanor destruction of government property; good for a year in federal prison.
- 18 U.S. Code § 1038: False information and hoaxes; felony good for a fine and five years in prison.
- 18 U.S. Code § 1512(c)(2): Obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding, or attempts to do so; twenty years in prison, and a fine.
Yep, if he were a Republican private citizen, he would be facing thousands in fines, and decades in prison. 18 U.S. Code § 1361 and 18 U.S. Code § 1512 are what the feds have been using against J6ers.
TZP Column: Ninth Circuit
NINTH CIRCUIT JUDICIAL GAMES
No doubt you’ve heard that federal Judge Benitez once again ruled in Duncan v. Bonta that California’s ban on “high capacity” magazines is unconstitutional; particularly in light of SCOTUS’ BRUEN decision. He stayed his injunction until October 2, to allow the state time to file yet another appeal.
And once again the state did appeal to the Ninth Circuit. Which took the unusal action of taking the state’s “emergency” request for an administrative stay past October 2 en banc. Normally such requests for administrative stays is done by a three judge panel.
The en banc Ninth issued an administrative stay until October 10, 2023.
However, a couple of the Circuit judges wrote dissenting opinions, objecting to the Court gaming the system to delay or deny Second Amendment rights.
I found the dissents to be rather interesting.
[Update] Now Let’s See If He’ll Be Charged
I’m seeing multiple reports that Rep. Jamaal Bowman (Dumbass-NY) pulled a fire alarm in the Cannon Office Building as the Dims were trying to delay a House vote.
That is, of course, illegal; a misdemeanor under local DC law, and a felony in federal law. Since he’s a Dim, nothing will come of it.
Anyone care to bet that he pulled shit like this in school on test days?
Update: I see lots of folks, including Trump, Jr., demanding that old Jamaal be charge with obstructing official proceedings.
Just like the J6ers going to federal prison for years.
And Bowman’s excuse?
“I thought the alarm would open the door.”
He’s only been there two years and nine months. It takes time to learn things like that, when you have the IQ of an over-ripe grapefruit.
TZP Column: Colombia vs. America
UNIQUELY AMERICAN
Did you watch the second place round GOP debate? I didn’t, but it’s sure in the newsfeeds this morning. From what I’ve seen, the most notable performance wasn’t from the (vice) presidential candidates, but co-moderator Ilia Calderón.
“Mental health concerns are not unique to United States. But gun violence is.”
TZP Column: California Victim Disarmament
MORE VICTIM DISARMAMENT IN CALIFORNIA
Governor Newsom signed a couple of more bills yesterday, as if Commifornia didn’t have enough laws.
SB 2 raises the age to purchase any firearm to 21 years, and increases areas where firearm possession is banned.
TZP Column: Use Of Force
Self defense on trial in Virginia. And this happens to be my 700th TZP column, and exactly 50% of all of the columns there.
AN APPROPRIATE USE OF FORCE?
There’s a trial in Virginia over a shooting. Let me describe the reported circumstances, and let you decide what you’d have done.
You’re minding your own business, when a 6′ 5″ “goon” (his own monicker, by the way) walks up on you. He sticks his hand in your face and calls you a “dips**t”. You repeatedly tell him to stop, but he refuses. You keep backing away, but he keeps closing on you, still calling you a “dips**t.” You try to knock his hand out your face, but he continues.
If Blocking Access To Porn For Preadolescent Children Is “White Supremacy”
…does that mean all blacks think they should be showing little kids porn? That being a sexual predator of children is what blacks are?
I didn’t think so. But I do wonder about LeVar Burton himself.
Reading Rainbow’s LeVar Burton Claims Blocking Children’s Access to Explicit Books is ‘White Supremacy’
“Far-right politicians like Ron DeSantis are championing draconian laws to ban books and the teaching of accurate multicultural American history in favor of upholding a homophobic, transphobic, and white supremacist vision of our nation,” the group’s website states.
Not providing pornographic books to children is not “banning” the books. Do these idiots also advocate proving alcohol, tobacco, and firearms to preadolescents?
As for the books… I’ve got a proposal for them. Every school that provides those books would also be required to add John Ringo’s Ghost and Kildar novels to their reading lists. Burton et al should be happy with all the underage sex — manual, oral, vaginal, and anal — which the kiddies should find quite instructive.
But they might also pick up some geography, history, international relations, and conservative ideas.
Ever Have One Of Those Days?
When I’m watching movies or reading a book, I’m pretty much constantly doing grip exercises, when I’m not doing curls with some baby dumbbells. And if you doubt that “constantly”…
I done wore that one out.
Just inspected the other one of the pair, and it’s beginning to crack, too. Time to buy new ones.
