Brett BOOFO Kavanaugh wants to make it even easier for gunmen to obtain assault rifles

.


And he's probably got the votes to do it.

Meanwhile, if President Donald Trump’s most recent appointment to the Supreme Court gets his way, both assault rifles and high-capacity magazines will soon enjoy special constitutional protection. It is likely, moreover, that Justice Brett Kavanaugh has the five votes he needs to make this happen.

In 2008, not long after the Supreme Court struck down its much stronger gun regulations, the District of Columbia passed an emergency law that, among other things, banned assault rifles and high-capacity magazines within the District. The law was challenged, and the challenge eventually reached a panel of three Republican appointees on the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Two of those judges upheld the law.

The third judge was Kavanaugh. In his dissent, Kavanaugh called for a sweeping expansion of the Second Amendment, beyond even what his two Republican colleagues were willing to endorse. Regarding assault rifles, the future Trump appointee argued that these weapons should enjoy the same nearly unassailable level of level of constitutional protection the Supreme Court afforded to handguns in its 2008 decision in District of Columbia v. Heller.

“In Heller,” Kavanuagh wrote in his dissent, “the Supreme Court held that handguns – the vast majority of which today are semi-automatic – are constitutionally protected because they have not traditionally been banned and are in common use by law-abiding citizens.” He claimed that “there is no meaningful or persuasive constitutional distinction between semi-automatic handguns and semi-automatic rifles.”

Read along with the lyrics, they're at the youtube link 😂

Just a friendly parody of Kinko The Clown by Ogden Edsel.

Lyrics:

Boofo, Boofo, the Supreme Court Judge
Everyone hates Buffo, but he’ll never hold a GRUDGE
Boofo, Boofo, the Supreme Court Judge
Little rough at parties, Wouldn’t even think to BUDGE
Shut up you little tease, Turn up the volume

Boofo he inherits Justice Roberts’ legacy
Sitting on judicial complaints except from Donny T.
Ladies, wire coat hangers, what else do you see?
He loves the idea so much, He’ll buy the company.

Hi everyone, I’m Boofo the Supreme Court Judge.
Hi Boofo!
Hey, you can’t put a price on life, can you?
No, Boofo.
Well, actually you can.
It’s roughly $320K per additional birth spread over an 18 year span.
This hits various areas of your state and local taxes, but don’t worry, I really think cutting Social Security, Health and Childcare will fix that. Really Really.

Boofo, Boofo, the Supreme Court Judge
Shoving dongs in faces, trying to pack a little FUDGE
No means Yes, Yes means Anal!
Boofo, Boofo, the Supreme Court Judge
He’s so smooth with ladies, Gives them all a little NUDGE
I like beer, liquor, ludes, and running a train.

Boofo is beholden to the puppet president
Any law or norm in place, he needs to circumvent.
Enjoying billions in taxes and state bankruptcies,

And that’s all thanks to you, our Fiscal Conservative pupsies.


Hey kids, would you want to lie in court and use a “Get out of Jail Free” card?
Yes, Boofo!
Aw Sorry, but we’re becoming a fascist state now. If you’re not in, you’re out!
Come on, Boofo, that’s illegal!
You’re not paying attention?
I am the law now, and I will do whatever I please, even placing you in detention!
Your right to protest and speak up about injustice will soon be curtailed.
And over the course of a few years, Putin’s plans will slowly fall into place.
What goes around comes around, and I’d really hate to have done me wrong in the past. Really Really.

Boofo, Boofo, the Supreme Court Judge
Several women speak out and give his good name a SMUDGE
It’s nothing but a farce, a national disgrace
Boofo, Boofo, the Supreme Court Judge
Bogus FBI checks put the ending to his TRUDGE
The FBI is corrupt—unless it does what WE want

Gotta Go, everyone. I’ll be doing oligarchial, fascist and
Sino-Russia bidding for the next 30 years. I love the taste of a free democracy’s tears.
By-ye!
Bye Boofo.

Gee, I really hope there isn’t a rape kit out there with my DNA in it.

Really Really.
