The Most Googled Moment of Last Night's Debate
Last
night's CNN debate had a number of high points, with candidates laying
out their visions for the country and occasionally trading barbs.
However, one moment in particular stands out for the level of interest
it generated on Google. That moment, according to Google Trends,
belonged to Senator Ted Cruz.

The moment came toward the end of the debate, when moderator Dana Bash
asked Cruz why he refused to criticize Donald Trump in public, but was
willing to criticize him during a private meeting with donors. Cruz's
answer caused viewers to run to their computers and smart phones to
Google his name. |

DHS Official Is Left Speechless After Trey Gowdy Schools Her On The 2nd Amendment
The
left continues to push its "no-fly, no-buy" regulation, which would
prevent people on the no-fly list from legally purchasing firearms in
the United States. The most glaring problem with this proposal is that
it is a blatant violation of the Constitution. The U.S. government
cannot arbitrarily place an individual on a list without due process,

American citizen-what process is currently afforded an American citizen
before they go on that list?" Gowdy asked Burriesci.
"I'm sorry, um, there's not a process afforded the citizen prior to
getting on the list," Burriesci said. "There is a process should someone
feel they're unduly placed on the list."
"Yes, there is'" Gowdy said. "When I say 'process' I'm actually using
half of the term 'due process,' which is a phrase we find in the
Constitution, that you cannot deprive people of certain things without
due process. So I understand [no-buy, no-fly], which is to wait until
your right has been taken from you and then you can petition the
government to get it back. I understand that that's his idea."
"My question is, can you name another constitutional right we have that
is chilled until you find out it's chilled, and then you have to
petition the government to get it back? Is that true with the First
Amendment?"
Burriesci tried to explain the process for putting someone on the terror watchlist, but Gowdy interrupted her...(continue reading) |
