Here's another question certain to divide Americans this year: Should President Obama be allowed to appoint (and should the Senate confirm) a Supreme Court justice to replace Antonin Scalia? Should that process be delayed until after the presidential election, as Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has pledged to pursue? "The American people should have a voice in the selection of their next Supreme Court Justice," McConnell said. "Therefore, this vacancy should not be filled until we have a new President." Several of the GOP candidates agree, including Ben Carson, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio. -snip- What do you think? Should...

Poll: Ban Assault Weapons? No 8 votes Yes 3 votes The Boston Globe has a pair of articles, Pro-Con style on the question: Should the U.S. ban assault weapons? There are few respondents at present, with No having 8 votes and Yes having 3 votes. This is in the range that we usually expect in Second Amendment related polls, with Second Amendment supporters usually outnumbering disarmists by three to ten times as many. The link to the poll is here, near the bottom. This is an unusually small number of votes on a Second Amendment related issue. Definition of disarmist ©2016...

Some hailed the measures as a step in the right direction, while others lambasted the president for attacking the Second Amendment. In the comments on this site, that spectrum was clear: From commenter “I’disagreeâ€: “Obama’s plan does nothing to curb the number of illegal guns sold, stolen, traded and used by criminals.â€

As France and the rest of the world comes to grips with Friday night's horrific terrorist attacks in and around Paris that claimed at least 129 lives, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump is blaming tough gun control laws in France for the dimensions of the tragedy. At a rally in southeast Texas Saturday afternoon, Trump told the crowd "nobody had guns but the bad guys."

Looking forward to these results, especially the consensus vote. Fox News’ criteria for its first debate seems, unfortunately, to bias strongly toward name recognition rather than broad appeal, and I think that hurdle undermines the meaningful policy discussions that these early events should foster. Put another way: If a candidate could get consensus support but can’t get in the door of the debate, then is the debate really representative of the preferences of the Republican electorate? Thanks for participating. (POLL-AT-LINK)

Kroger (market cap: $37 billion) wouldn’t budge, however. That August, the Ohio-based 2,625-store grocery giant — the country’s second largest general retailer, behind Walmart — released a statement saying it would “follow state and local laws” on open carry. The following month, Everytown and Moms Demand Action upped the ante against Kroger, launching the umbrella group’s first ever large-scale corporate campaign, with an advertising spend of six figures.
