As electric vehicles gain favor, utilities can accelerate EV adoption
Blog Post | February 13, 2018 - 10:00 am
By Siddiq Khan, Senior Researcher
As new models with longer ranges, state-of-the-art features, and lower prices enter the market, 2018 is widely expected to be the year of the electric vehicles (EV). US auto companies now offer more than 40 plug-in vehicle models, with more to come, and consumer interest in EVs has only grown with the arrival of these new models. What's more, large-scale EV adoption would be a win for consumers, automakers, utilities, and the environment. EVs can significantly reduce US transportation sector energy use and associated emissions, leading to large consumer and societal benefits, and the utility industry recognizes that large-scale adoption represents an opportunity for load growth at a time when many are forecasting declining sales.
Utilities can plan for — and guide — EV growth in ways that also benefit society at large, ensuring that potential environmental benefits of EVs are fully realized while taking advantage of the new business opportunities they present. Today, ACEEE released a report, Strategies for Integrating EVs into the Grid, that examines how utilities and other stakeholders are responding to this new opportunity, and how their actions relate to broader environmental goals. The report focuses on five categories of utility strategies: rate design, smart charging, charging station investment and ownership, vehicle purchase incentives, and coordination with state and local efforts. To provide insight into these strategies, the report includes case studies of three utilities that have implemented multifaceted EV integration plans: Southern California Edison, Indianapolis Power & Light, and Georgia Power Company.
Adequate charging infrastructure is an important prerequisite for EV adoption. Southern California Edison will invest customer funds in EV charging equipment that benefits both the grid and its customers, especially in underserved communities. Other utilities have also explored the possibility of partnerships to make EVs accessible to all potential users, whether through ownership, carsharing, or ridesharing. In partnership with Nissan, Georgia Power and Indianapolis Power & Light offered a $10,000 discount on a new Nissan Leaf for customers and employees in 2017.
Additionally, certain electricity rate structures can benefit both EV owners and utilities by creating an incentive to charge EVs when electricity demand is low. Georgia Power Company provides the cheapest super off-peak rate (1¢/kWh) for EV customers, allowing EV drivers to charge their vehicle for less than $0.50. Utilities can also help to maximize EVs' pollution reduction benefits by using rate structures that promote EV charging with electricity from renewables or other low-carbon generation sources. For example, Hawaiian Electric Company provides a super off-peak rate at mid-day when it has abundant solar energy in the grid.
State and local government involvement with utilities is critical to ensuring that EVs do not create an added burden on transportation and utility systems. They can ensure that EVs support the reliable and efficient use of electricity infrastructure by requiring resource-planning activities from their respective utilities and coordination with other key stakeholders. Finally EVs' place in the transportation system needs to align with each city's or state's vision for its transportation future.
California's Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) program and action plan are the gold standard for supporting EV deployment. To achieve the ambitious targets of the ZEV program and California's greenhouse gas reduction law (AB 32), the state directed its Air Resources Board, Public Utility Commission, Energy Commission, and many other state agencies to collaborate with the Plug-In Electric Vehicle Collaborative, which included all the major utilities in California.
EVs are gaining a foothold in the transportation sector, and more utilities are approaching this new business opportunity in ways that provide optimal benefits to their customers. Further, utility coordination between states and cities can result in environmental gains from EVs. By designing policies that encourage EV adoption, utilities can facilitate a scenario in which EVs complement conventional transportation choices and create a more sustainable, equitable, and low-cost transportation system in the United States.

Hermann Graf flew at least two colourful Fw 190 As during his time as Kommandeur of Jagdgruppe Ost - these were a Fw 190 A-4 WNr 634 (pictured above) as well as a Fw 190 A-5 WNr 2594, both of which can be ascertained from photos. However there seems to be confusion about which aircraft is which in published sources, most claiming that the aircraft had been repainted several times. However it seems to me to be unlikely that the complicated pattern of decorations and emblems invited frequent redecoration of the two aircraft in the short period Graf had the posting to JGr. Ost. This incidentally was only from the beginning of February 1943 to late May '43 or some days into June, since he reported back to Wiesbaden-Erbenheim on 11 June 1943 for his next assignment – four months on two aircraft. This particular image is his Fw 190 A-4, which featured a yellow engine cowling decorated with the tulip pattern while the Fw 190 A-5 had a standard camouflage on the cowling and a similar tulip decoration. There were also other small differences in markings between the two a/c.
Fw 190 F-8 W.Nr. unknown, Stab II./SG 2, München-Riem, May 1945.

The city owns and maintains the street, water, sewer, and storm drainage systems. The engineering division makes sure these systems are built properly in the first place.
The City Engineer establishes standards for construction methods and materials. Before the city issues a permit for the work, our engineers examine the construction plans and specifications to ensure they meet city standards. During construction, the public works inspector ensures the work proceeds according to the approved plans and specifications. The engineering division plans and schedules the city's major public works construction projects. They prepare cost estimates and secure funding from the City budget and / or grants. The engineering division either designs the project in-house, or selects a design consultant and oversees the consultant's work. When the project is planned, funded, and designed, the engineering division manages the construction.
City property that is dedicated to transportation and / or utilities is called right-of-way. To protect our transportation and utility systems, work in the right-of-way is prohibited without a permit. The engineering division reviews permit applications, issues permit approvals, and inspects the work to ensure it complies with permit requirements.
The engineering division provides traffic engineering and traffic safety expertise.

Sea Shepherd's Captain Paul Watson and Protecting Marine Wildlife Worldwide with Aggressive Non-violence.
https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/brainb4body/E739-Sea_Shepherds_Captain_Paul_Watson_and_Protecting_Marine_Wildlife_Worldwide_with_Aggressive_Non-violence.mp3
Friends, you're likely familiar with Captain Paul Watson founder and director of the Sea Shepherd movement and the vital, urgent work they do to protect marine wildlife worldwide with aggressive non-violence.
If not, well you're in for a ride! Sea Shepherd Conservation Society doesn't just sink whaling vessels. Though they do. And they have a zero death or injury unblemished record. They also: partner with governments from around the world, to assist them with the detection and capture of criminal enterprises that are in operation to engage in Illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing operations.
To quote the Captain:
We are pirates of compassion hunting down and destroying pirates of profit. Captain Paul Watson @SeaShepherdSSCS #ForTheOceans Click To Tweet
Before we get going with this conversation I want to share a few stats to set the stage. My sources will be linked in the show notes.
The oceans absorb 4x the amount of co2 as the amazon rainforest. (1)
Up to 85% of the worlds oxygen comes from phytoplankton. (2)
Only 5% of the ocean are marine protected areas and90% of that 5% of marine protected areas still allow fishing. (3)
Up to 40% of all marine life caught is thrown overboard as by-catch including approx. 50 million sharks are killed every year as by-catch. (4)
The simple fact is: If the ocean dies we die.
Officially (from https://seashepherd.org) Sea Shepherd is an international, non-profit marine conservation organisation that engages in direct action campaigns to defend wildlife and conserve and protect the world's oceans from illegal exploitation and environmental destruction.
Our mission is to protect defenceless marine wildlife and end the destruction of habitat in the world's oceans. Since 1977, Sea Shepherd has used innovative direct-action tactics to defend, conserve and protect the delicately-balanced biodiversity of our seas and enforce international conservation laws.
However let's hear from the man himself. Without doubt the individual with the most incredible, terrifying and moving stories I've ever had the chance to chat with. A gent that does not seem to feel fear or to care what others think of him. A couple of qualities that thankfully he's been utilising with extreme effectiveness both at sea and in the courts in a 6 decade fight for his clients, the animals.
In this conversation we cover:
The encounter with a dying sperm whale in 1975 that changed Paul's life.
The strategy of aggressive non-violence and why Paul turned to it after initially being a founding member of Greenpeace.
The current human "mass psychosis of anthropocentrism" verse living in harmony with other species.
The 3 basic laws of ecology: Diversity. Interdependence, Finite Resources.
Paul did things in the 60's and 70's that he couldn't get away with today.
Sea Shepherd's ships are all vegan vessels.
A good percentage of fish that are caught aren't even eaten by humans, they are fed to "livestock" animals.
How much money goes to subsidising fishing operations around the world.
The Sea Shepherd movement don't just fight battles on the ocean they fight them in court too.
Lack of enforcement due to the lack political and economic will on the part of many nations..
Captain Paul Watson's book: Orcapedia.
The strength of any ecosystem is in diversity and the strength of any movement is also in diversity.
What would Paul say to the individual who loves the sea, who hates the idea of plastic pollution and whaling – who still eats both land and marine animals?
That chat was truly such a privilege. Exactly the type of conversation that brings me hope despite all the terrifying data I trawled through in prep.
A takeaway that seems to be on repeat from so many of my amazing guests:
Find the type of activism that works for you. As long as you do something. Because the best way to avoid being overwhelmed by a problem is to be part of the solution.
And even if you think you might not win – we might not make it to a vegan world where we live in harmony with other species instead of enslaving and slaughtering them for short term investment and short term gain. Even if you think, "we can't win here the odds are against us" there's the advice given to Paul as a young man by Russell Means: it's not about winning or losing. We're here because this is the right place to be, the right time to do it and the right thing to do.
To connect with Sea Shepard online and look into volunteering or other forms of support I'll have you linked up below.
Finally, please share this episode with a friend or family member who loves the ocean and still contributes to its demise via consuming land and sea animals.
I'd super appreciate that, Thank You.
The Oceans are the birthplace of all life on the planet. We have to halt the destruction of life in our Ocean, for if life in the Ocean dies, we all die.

Q: Get events from AlloyUI Scheduler Im trying to get the events from the Scheduler but cant seem to do so. By looking at their documentation I found that I needed to implement SchedulerEventSupport. I implemented it like this:
        var agendaView = new Y.SchedulerAgendaView();
        var dayView = new Y.SchedulerDayView();
        var eventRecorder = new Y.SchedulerEventRecorder();
        //global variable
        eventSupport = new Y.SchedulerEventSupport();
        var monthView = new Y.SchedulerMonthView();
        var weekView = new Y.SchedulerWeekView();

        schedule = new Y.Scheduler(
          {
            activeView: weekView,
            boundingBox: '#myScheduler',
            date: new Date(2013, 1, 4),
            eventRecorder: eventRecorder,
            items: events,
            render: true,
            eventSupport: eventSupport,
            views: [dayView, weekView, monthView, agendaView]
          }
        );

        function displayEvents(){
            console.log(eventSupport.getEvents());
        }

Everytime I run displayEvents() I get this error TypeError: Cannot read property 'sort' of undefined.
How Can I display the events saved in scheduler?

A: Use Scheduler.getEvents():
function displayEvents(){
    console.log(schedule.getEvents());
}

Supreme Court Strikes Down Restrictive New York Gun Licensing Law
"Because the State of New York issues public-carry licenses only when an applicant demonstrates a special need for self-defense, we conclude that the State's licensing regime violates the Constitution."
Posted by William A. Jacobson Thursday, June 23, 2022 at 10:39am 122 Comments
You may recall our coverage of the first major 2nd Amendment case to make it to the U.S. Supreme Court in over a decade, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association, Inc. v. Bruen (docket), New York Concealed Carry Restrictions Seem Likely To Fall As Important 2nd Amendment Case Argued In Supreme Court:
It's been a decade since the U.S. Supreme Court took a major Second Amendment case, much to the chagrin of Justice Clarence Thomas.
But today was argument in New York State Rifle & Pistol Assn. v. Bruen, a case we previously covered, Supreme Court Agrees To Hear 2nd Amendment Case Over NY Restrictions On Concealed Carry:
Today, the U.S. Supreme Court granted review in New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Corlett (now v. Bruen), a case challenging the constitutionality of New York State's concealed carry licensing scheme. The case argues that New York's "may issue" licensing scheme violates individuals' Second Amendment-protected rights—but could mean a lot more for gun rights across the nation.
The case could have wide implications, as we previously wrote:
New York State generally prohibits the carriage of a firearm in public—both openly and concealed. An individual can only carry a firearm concealed if they apply for and receive a license issued by a state "licensing officer." But in New York, a concealed carry license isn't so easy to come by.
A licensing officer will only issue a concealed carry permit if the applicant meets a lengthy list of criteria, including things such as being twenty-one years of age or older, being "of good moral character," and not having been convicted of a felony or "a serious offense." This list, although long, is fairly standard among states that require citizens to get a permit to carry a firearm concealed.
But New York is what is called a "may issue" state, meaning the state adds an additional barrier to getting a permit. A licensing officer will only issue a concealed carry license to an applicant "when proper cause exists for the issuance thereof." In contrast, "shall issue" states require the licensing authority to issue a concealed carry license to an applicant so long as they are not specifically prohibited from having one.
New York's discretionary consideration makes it all but impossible for law-abiding Americans to receive a permit to carry a firearm concealed in New York.
The burden is placed on the applicant to "demonstrate a special need for self-protection distinguishable from that of the general community or of persons engaged in the same profession." In other words, an applicant's mere desire to carry a firearm for the purpose of self-defense is not "proper cause" in the eyes of New York.
The Court just struck down the law, in a 6-3 Opinion authored by Justice Thomas:
In District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U. S. 570 (2008), and McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U. S. 742 (2010), we recognized that the Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect the right of an ordinary, law-abiding citizen to possess a handgun in the home for self-defense. In this case, petitioners and respondents agree that ordinary, law-abiding citizens have a similar right to carry handguns publicly for their self-defense. We too agree, and now hold, consistent with Heller and McDonald, that the Second and Fourteenth Amendments protect an individual's right to carry a handgun for self-defense outside the home.
The parties nevertheless dispute whether New York's licensing regime respects the constitutional right to carry handguns publicly for self-defense. In 43 States, the government issues licenses to carry based on objective criteria. But in six States, including New York, the government further conditions issuance of a license to carry on a citizen's showing of some additional special need. Because the State of New York issues public-carry licenses only when an applicant demonstrates a special need for self-defense, we conclude that the State's licensing regime violates the Constitution.

There is no legitmate basis for overturing Roe.

No JD,
You are wrong again as usual.
Now, rather than go into the legal aspects which are without a doubt light years beyond your comprehension and would lose you in the conversation- tell me what you think is not a legitimate basis and I will correct you on it.
Juris Doctor in reply to taurus the judge. | June 23, 2022 at 1:38 pm
Your position is rooted in scientific illteracy and religious lunacy. Neither of which provide a legitimate or compelling reason for overturning a well established constitional right.

No, its rooted in established Constitutional law and historical application.
All which are totally alien and incomprehensible to you.

There is no right to an abortion. If it was so well-established, how come judges had to pull it out of their ass 200 years after this country was created? Even Ruth Bader Schwarzenegger understood how tortuous and stupid the legal reasoning was in Roe.
The only thing that gets you out of bed in the morning is to spam this site with emotional screed.
mbecker908 in reply to Juris Doctor. | June 23, 2022 at 3:46 pm
Your position is rooted in partisan stupidity.
There is NO "well-established constitutional right" for a woman to be able to murder her pre-born baby for convenience. It was a made-up "right" that even RGB didn't like.

Remember how the Dred Scott decision was settled law for a long time? The Roe v Wade decision was just as settled as Dred Scott.
JackinSilverSpring in reply to Juris Doctor. | June 23, 2022 at 1:05 pm
Penumbra of the Constitution? Please. All overturning Roe would do is return it to the several state where it properly belongs.
Juris Doctor in reply to JackinSilverSpring. | June 23, 2022 at 1:35 pm
I suggest you read the 9th amendment.
"The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people."
This is one of many reasons why "abortion is not in the constitution" is both a dumb and incorrect argument.
I suggest you go back and understand what you are reading because despite the left popularity, the interpretation is fundamentally and legally flawed.
henrybowman in reply to Juris Doctor. | June 23, 2022 at 2:01 pm
Meaning the feds have no jurisdiction to suppress them.
Overturning Roe won't initiate federal suppression of anything.
CommoChief in reply to Juris Doctor. | June 23, 2022 at 6:24 pm
And a person, even a pre born person, has the right not to be murdered. You keep conveniently forgetting about that fact. Even Roe makes distinctions about the state of development.
Abortion on an industrial scale such as exists in the US isn't contemplated in our constitution. The forthcoming decision in Dobbs which will set 15 weeks as an end point for legal abortion will still be one of the most liberal regimes in the world.
Your argument about religion simply substitutes one doctrine for another; you would replace traditional western belief with your own preferred set of beliefs. It's very sophomoric and disappointing in someone who claims legal training.
Finally you do understand that overturning Roe will put the issue back to the States don't you? That slightly diminished but soon to be revitalized concept of Federalism will do wonders in clarifying that States are sovereign as well.

Nobody claims that the constitution protects only those rights it explicitly names. Everyone knows that the ninth protects additional rights, and courts have to do their best to ascertain what those are. But abortion is not one of those rights. It can't be, because there was no such right when the ninth was ratified. The ninth isn't some mutating monster that can be stretched to mean whatever anyone wants it to. It doesn't protect whatever rights become popular in any given era. It protects those rights that it always did, that it protected when it was enacted; no more.

Ha, JD, are you a troll? You have not facts to present but suggest others facts are wrong. The Constitution does not support the position and it was a political decision in the 70's and if not over turned, it is a political decision in the 2020's.
Individual rights start at conception with a little gray area in viability, but thanks to science that requires us to get a vaccine, that gray area is zero.
Abortion is a distraction from the huge liberal sex trafficking. Gun control is a huge distraction of the intercity crimes and Fentanyl drug overdoses (almost 80K over the past two years). Squirrels everywhere, but reality is going to hit the fan. Time to start living in it.

Fair enough. But once Roe is overturned, if you support our constitutional system of government, you must admit that the SCOTUS has the final say on whether or not something is constitutional or not, and once that's settled, changing it will require the SCOTUS to revisit it.
Remember, the pro-lifers asserted that there was no legitimate basis for deciding Roe as it was decided, and they lived for the past 40+ years in a world where the law of the land, and the decision of the SCOTUS, was that it was a constitutional right. Are you ready to wait another 40+ years, in compliance with the constitution, as you push back in the other direction?

Read this on a gun board. Which if correct means the decision while nice still allows infringements.
The good part of the ruling is the 2nd is a constitutional right and people have a right to carry inside and outside their homes. The bad part is Kavanaugh just said half the gun control we have and more of what the Dems want is constitutional. Gun control such as requiring a license to own, finger printing, background checks, mental health, and required training are all perfectly acceptable regulations on the 2nd. They didn't question any of NY's restrictions/requirements, just that they were being applied unequally or required a means test which treated people differently.
The whole "shall not be infringed" part was tossed out long ago and the ruling confirms it will never be that way again.
we also relied on the historical understanding of the Amendment to demark the
limits on the exercise of that right. We noted that, "[l]ike most rights,
the right secured by the Second Amendment is not unlimited."
The court declares there is a historical tradition of firearm regulations
to justify a firearm regulation the government
must demonstrate that the regulation is consistent with the Nation's
historical tradition of firearm regulation
The Democrats plan of requiring a license, which also requires mandatory training, is supported by this opinion as the court notes the historical tradition of requiring a license to own or carry a firearm in some places.
Today's licensing scheme largely tracks that of the early
1900s. It is a crime in New York to possess "any firearm"
without a license, whether inside or outside the home,
New York is not alone in requiring a permit to carry a
handgun in public.
All of these restrictions and infringements on the Second Amendment are approved by the SCOTUS. page 80 and written by Kavanaugh
43 States employ objective shall-issue licensing regimes.
Those shall-issue regimes may require a license applicant to undergo fingerprinting, a background
check, a mental health records check, and training in firearms handling and in laws regarding the use of force, among other possible requirements.
As petitioners, acknowledge, shall-issue licensing regimes are constitutionally permissible,
Going forward, therefore, the 43 States that employ objective shall-issue licensing regimes for carrying handguns for self-defense may continue to do so.

Scotus blog comment – "Page 2 of Alito's concurrence is notable and troubling. He dismisses Breyer's recounting of mass shootings. "Why, for example, does the dissent think it is relevant to recount the mass shootings that have occurred in recent years? … The New York law at issue in this case obviously did not stop that [Buffalo] perpetrator.."
Notable that Breyer's dissent focuses on the number of homicides in the US as a valid reason for gun control, yet as Alito notes, the NY gun control statutes in place did not stop the Buffalo shooting, nor will any of the gun controls advocated by the proponents of gun control will have any positive effect.

.Black leaders have accused whites of systemic racism and then advocated for tilting the scales in favor of blacks. Whites should turn the tables on them by pointing to demographic homicide rates and violent crime rates and accuse blacks of systemic violence. Then use that as an excuse to advocate for segregation and denial of blacks of their 2nd Amendment rights. Maybe blacks will wake up to the fact that this systemic crap can be a two edged sword that can be used against them to their detriment.

Well, not right away. First New York has to realign its laws with the SC ruling and begin issuing properly…. only then will goblins have to worry that their victims will be armed.
And as we see from the example of DC, who knows how long that can be delayed?
in a 23-page opinion [on Wrenn v. DC, 2014], U.S. District Judge Frederick J. Scullin Jr. ruled that condition — known as the "good reason/proper reason" requirement — still "impinges on Plaintiffs' Second Amendment right to bear arms," because it fails to target dangerous people or specifically how or where individuals carry weapons.
"The issue here is not whether the . . . requirement is a reasonable or wise policy choice. Rather, the issue is whether this requirement, no matter how well intended, violates the Second Amendment," Scullin wrote.
(Washington Post)
If you will notice, this is precisely the same ruling, for precisely the same reasons, that SCOTUS just made on the federal level. So what happened?
A federal judge on Tuesday granted a 90-day stay in a ruling that upended the District's ban on carrying handguns in public. The order issued by U.S. District Court Judge Frederick Scullin brings a temporary reprieve to D.C. officials, who were sent scurrying over the weekend to interpret the effects of the ruling that gutted the city's restrictive gun laws." That's from washingtontimes.com. As expected, DC's attorney's got out of bed extra early this morning to make sure no one else decides to casually stroll down the mall fully strapped. At least until they can figure out how to deal with, well, the Constitution. Watch this space.
(thetruthaboutguns.com)
Get that? "The law is still unconstitutional, I haven't changed my mind, but it would be unfair to the DC police chief not to let her continue to enforce it on her people for three more months, while she gets her shit together."
So solicitous to the unfairly burdened oppressor!
Of course, nobody can do this to SCOTUS… but I'm sure somebody is dreaming up something analogous.

Do not be surprised when this has a strong chilling impact on this proposed RINO approved socialist gun bill currently in the pipeline.
One would hope so. But, those spineless bustards may well vote for it with the knowledge that it is likely unconstitutional.
There is a conspiracy theory going around that the GOP wants to limit its success in the upcoming election. Seems pretty strained, to me. OTOH, how else do you explain 14 RINOs voting to move the bill along?

I agree with Emerald Robinson, that the GOP does not want to be in the majority, so this Senate gun control compromise is a means to throw the November mid-term elections by demoralizing us. It's all a game, where they ask for your donations and support so they can win the next election and really get things done this time, trust us!!!, but then do everything they can to not win the majority, so you keep sending them money and they keep losing on purpose. The last thing they want to happen is for them to actually gain the majority and then have all those icky voters expect them to fulfill their promises, which were lies the whole time.

I have heard the same conspiracy theory but that's what it is and nothing more. (That begs explanation since I used to believe, hold and promote that same conspiracy theory as fact until the 2020 election and fallout opened my eyes)
Its clear to me now when we break the GOP down into conservatives and RINO's- we actually have 2 distinctly different types of RINO. (This model excludes Manchurian Republicans who are plants and never were conservative to begin with- that could be a 3rd category if one chose to)
R-1 is the globalist who is the NWO type
R-2 is the "for hire" opportunist who is a conservative but has a price and menu and a closet liberal in spirit. ( liberal not to mean socialist- that's a separate ideology altogether)
Both share common agendas at times but are often not fully aligned or united.
RINO's don't have a problem being "in charge" from the perspective of leadership because they can do nothing on the top as well as they do it on the bottom.
But, as Bischoff said, "Controversy Creates Cash" and being the perpetual underdog pays double. The payoffs from the puppet master to keep them weak and the fundraising from the masses to do something.
This case is a little different because Trump sees this too which is why he is specifically targeting RINO's. ( and why they are targeting him)
This latest "maneuver" ( look real close) has nothing to do with the mid terms and it wouldn't surprise me that the entire storyline is a media enhanced red herring.
This gun bill has to do with the bought off RINO's appeasing their masters to try to stay in power.
Here's how you know this- they were smart enough to NOT even mention a gun ban ( talk about losing the mid terms- that would have done it right there if that had been the true intent)
They also worked long and hard to "wordsmith" this bill to where its Constitutional ( in the sense it does not outright violate any part of it but they worded it where the "abuse" could be executed at will at the local level. ( knowing blue states would weaponize it and red states likely not). That makes it survive challenge and judicial review.
None of this was accidental or done 10 days ago- this bill was long ago drafted.
The RINO's tested the water slowly and see not a "red" wave but a MAGA wave and this bill is a compromise with the LEFT to solicit their help in staying in power ( whether they take houses or not)
The Left NEEDS the RINO because they know they are not strong enough to accomplish anything without their help.
Its a mutual death pact.
That's why this specific group was chosen and why they drafted the bill the way they did.
They didn't count on the backlash, uproar, Trump presence and now SCOTUS decision.
They may revise things now. (I could be totally wrong but don't think so)
PersonofInterests in reply to taurus the judge. | June 23, 2022 at 1:22 pm
There is a great article over at the Conservative Treehouse by Sundance on the subject and it fits perfectly with what is taking place with these 14-RINOs and their Master, Mitch McCommunist:
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/06/23/tucker-carlson-calls-out-the-right-wing-of-the-uniparty-vulture/#more-234427
This sentence is especially instructive: "Nothing within this process is contingent upon the support of the voting electorate." And thus, no surprise that these "Special People" are not afraid of their constituent base and don't represent them with impunity.
Moreover, they worry even less when elections are fraudulent exercises to have proven outcomes that keeps the same unaccountable person in office for a lifetime of employment and thievery. Refer to the tenure of some of these turkeys already over 30 years with the record holder, John Dingell, who took over the seat of his father to serve 60 years and then, pass the seat to his wife, Debbie, who now serves in a seat that may as well be a Dingell Family Heirloom.
"The Republican National Committee (RNC), and the Democrat National Committee (DNC), are private clubs.
The RNC and DNC are corporations, private businesses; and just like all private businesses, they have the ability to make rules, bylaws, terms and conditions of membership and association that are completely arbitrary according to their charter.
The RNC and DNC are not entities of government. The RNC and DNC are not affiliates of government. The RNC and DNC have absolutely no connection to government, other than their arbitrary business model for helping politicians enter and remain within government.
In fact, the RNC and DNC are simply private corporations who engage in the business of politics. Whenever we start to forget the DNC and RNC are private corporations, we can slip into the mistaken belief that they operate on any form of baseline altruism.
These corporations exist for the fulfillment of their mission; and their mission is to use the business of politics as a method of financial reward to sustain the business model.
Some call these private entities, these corporations, "clubs," because using that term helps to remind us that these groups do not operate without a private agenda.
The rules within the RNC club are determined by the people who control the club charter, primarily large donors who fund the corporate business. If they have a particular intent or direction, they wish the club to support or take, they control how the club engages in the process of achieving their outcome. That effort is taken regardless of the opinion from the subordinate members in the club.
Through the process of controlling the corporations, the private clubs, both the RNC and DNC control how political events take place. Nothing within this process is contingent upon the support of the voting electorate."

henrybowman in reply to PersonofInterests. | June 23, 2022 at 2:29 pm
"The Republican National Committee (RNC), and the Democrat National Committee (DNC), are private clubs…
Until they want to be. And therein lies the problem.
The"private club" model was the model the founders envisioned. "We are an interest group who wish to offer this slate of nominees to represent our interests." That's exactly the way it should have been.
(I don't believe they understood the "game theory math" that inevitably instantiates two and only two massive parties, same as it inevitably forces car dealers to cluster along a single stretch of highway.)
Under this model there are no such things as "open primaries." A party's nominees are chosen by members of that party (at one time, paying members). Primaries are an internal function of the party, paid for by the party. "Independents" get no vote at all in anybody's primaries. (Why should people who have no connection with a group's values and needs have any say in who that group will nominate to represent them?)
The problem comes when those two inevitable parties begin to entertain grandiose notions of actually being official branches of government. Then, all sorts of political perversions occur.
States pay for primaries, so independents must be invited. A candidate whose philosophy is entirely antagonistic to a party can circulate nomination petitions and be nominated entirely by the signatures of independents, at which time the state rules that the party must accept him as a representative candidate.
The federal government foots the bill for lavish national conventions for the two "major" parties (private groups, as you will recall), using your tax money. Other parties never receive the same consideration.
Same for debates. The feds fund "national debates" controlled by the big two, who carefully massage the entry requirements such that no one but their own people "qualify" to participate.
And if you let that sort of shit fester, you end up with the premier federal law enforcement organization operating out of the HQ of one of those parties' lawyer's offices. Hey, that's not a blueprint for tyranny at all.
We've ended up with a system that not only has tapeworms, but where the system carefully chooses its own diet to cater to the cravings of those tapeworms instead of looking to its own nutritional needs.
lichau in reply to taurus the judge. | June 23, 2022 at 1:27 pm
I, mostly, agree with you. I think the top ten items on any Rep/Senator's list are all the same–get reelected. It is the best job imaginable. "Getting rich" is a subset of "getting elected". Being in the majority is a "nice to have", but not on that top ten list.
We have developed a ruling caste in this country. Most of them have never drawn a private sector paycheck, much less signed the front side of a check. Many (I always read the Wikipedia "early life" section) come from privilege, very often privilege from family connections, either elected or the bureaucracy.
This is not a Democrat/GOP thing. Red Team, Blue Team. Same game.
The US was envisioned as "representative government". Those we have in today's Government, writ large, are nothing close to "representative". The odd exception, to be sure, but those are usually housebroken pretty quickly.
Having said that, I think the GOP's DNA is that of the minority party. Raising funds by railing against "the man" is very effective.

taurus the judge in reply to JackinSilverSpring. | June 23, 2022 at 2:50 pm
That's a stretch because SCOTUS has ruled de minimis and other small exceptions to individual rights to protect the public are allowed. ( traffic stops, warrantless arrests on probable cause in some cases, mental people being committed involuntarily and so forth)
Red flag laws stretch those exceptions (IMO) beyond Constitutional and SCOTUS ruling but that's another issue.
That's why they need to be challenged and defeated.
What galls me ( there are several actually) is the fact the "innocent" person has to financially bankrupt himself to defend against a false charge with no recourse.
There is "due process"- its just not good and proper.

I expect this will just push them to issue it faster. The whole point of Red Flag laws are to disarm people that the State does not want armed, and they can't very well do that if the Supreme Court rules they are unconstitutional, can they?
I expect them to ram it through and vigorously prosecute the people they most want gone. Best case they can either get them removed or pin a crime in them if they don't enthusiasticly agree to the leftists demands, and I doubt that goes away even if the original law that kicked off the confrontation gets overturned.

The 4th is not repealed because it has not been repealed.
They are just committing crimes under the color of law. Different thing.

Then it seems to me that it is high time for someone to file a motion to repeal the Patriot Act which was introduced as a "temporary" law. This will allow us to disband the hideous Homeland Security apparatus whose purpose seems to maintain open borders and protect foreign terrorists who slip in.
Point. If we can show it is in violation of the 4th Amendment, we may also be able to get it overturned as well.

Nope. Very simplified it it only says that the govt can't withhold a permit because they don't want to issue it. They can have a permit process that encompasses the States normal interests in not issuing permits to violent felons and whackos. They can have an initial training requirement and modest fees and a requirement for refresher training.
This ruling does equal constitutional carry in any form. It's very roughly telling govt that they have to shift to a more 'shall issue' process subject to reasonable restrictions. Again that's oversimplified but that's the basic holding in layman's terms for a website post.

A "nobody gets a license unless they work certain jobs" licensing scheme facially comports with the ruling. You no longer have to make a "good cause" claim, so you can't sue and claim they're violating this ruling. Limit the jobs list to a government-approved in crowd (LEO, judges, prosecutors, legislators, and guards), and you have a scheme more restrictive than before.

Maybe we should our Senators and HoR to offer an amendment to the current gun rights restriction bill to do just that. See how many would be in favor of using red flag procedures to also strip voting rights, free speech and assembly, religious exercise and so on.
While were at it shouldn't driving be restricted as well if we want to protect the public? I recall a parade in Waukesha with mass casualties caused by a whacko with a vehicle not a firearm….so shouldn't the vehicles be taken as well…if it only saves one life….

But how will the uber rich, the powerful and the political separate themselves from the serfs?
artichoke in reply to alaskabob. | June 23, 2022 at 1:00 pm
I don't think this is much of a problem. Criminals will always have access to guns, and they can hire a layer of security guards, often at our expense. But they don't want the non-elite to be able to protect themselves.

These decisions, this and the religious school ruling, while "the public" is waiting for Roe, are more important than it. Whatever happens to Roe, a woman can go to a nearby state to kill and remove her unborn baby. It's basically a decision about states' rights.
This is also a decision about states' rights, that limits them. And that's great, because unlike abortion, rkba is in plain text in the Constitution, and every state has to comply.

In the box my Dad's S&W revolver is in… is an approval form to purchase from the sheriff of the North Carolina county he was residing in.

kwan3217 | June 23, 2022 at 1:23 pm
Reading the decision, particularly Kavanaugh's concurring opinion (p80), it looks like he straight-up says that "may-issue" laws are unconstitutional. Given that this is a concurring opinion, in what sense is this binding? If that was in the dissent, it would obviously have no legal force, but what legal force is there in concurring opinons, or for the main opinion for that matter? What part of the decision actually has legal force?
artichoke in reply to kwan3217. | June 24, 2022 at 3:37 pm
I believe it is not binding as he wrote it, because it's not a point that a majority have signed onto. But in effect the decision gets us a lot closer to it. It will be up to clever anti-gunners to try to find and fit new laws into whatever wiggle room remains.
MrE | June 23, 2022 at 1:54 pm
Now when is SCOTUS going to say that a CC permit in one state is good in all 50?
When living in IL, I was among the first group to be issued a CC, which cost about $500, for the training courses, live-fire qualification, NICS check, printing and licensing. I also had CC permits from WA and UT which let me carry in nearly 40 states with reciprocity. (I'd have been better off with an AZ permit over a UT permit). The IL permit was only good for adding IL (according to USACarry maps). I shouldn't have to worry about travelling through a non-reciprocity state with 3-4 CC permits, and hundreds spent in training and licensing.
taurus the judge in reply to MrE. | June 23, 2022 at 2:21 pm
"Technically" they should say that already due to the 14th. They recognize marriage, drivers' license and everything else.
henrybowman in reply to taurus the judge. | June 23, 2022 at 2:49 pm
Well, no.
Marriage… maybe. but drivers' licenses are covered by an "interstate compact," not federal law. They COULD be legitimized by federal reciprocity… but they never have been.
So i am told by the wonks who study this for gun groups.
taurus the judge in reply to henrybowman. | June 23, 2022 at 2:55 pm
I've been told ( and researched) differently by similar wonks.
The supremacy clause is the reciprocity- just nobody wants to play that card.
The flaw in the drivers/marriage license and interstate compact is there is not a Constitutional Amendment recognizing the right to marriage or driving a car- there is one to keep and bear arms.
No other Constitutional RIGHT is checked, chilled or otherwise restricted between states or requires any government provided document or permission.
Barry in reply to taurus the judge. | June 23, 2022 at 6:53 pm
Bingo. It's clear as glass.
Milhouse in reply to taurus the judge. | June 24, 2022 at 1:31 am
There is no requirement that states recognize each other's marriages. They almost always do, but there are exceptions. For instance there are a number of states that don't allow first cousins to get married. Most of them do recognize such couples' marriages if they were made where it's legal. Some, however, refuse to recognize such marriages at all, no matter how legal they are in the state next door and in almost all of the rest of the country and the world. And the full faith and credit clause doesn't make them recognize them.
Gosport | June 23, 2022 at 3:01 pm
Now this one is really scary. Forced through on the quiet I note.
Military courts could order 'red flag' gun confiscation under defense bill
"A military court protective order issued on an ex parte basis shall restrain a person from possessing, receiving, or otherwise accessing a firearm; and a military court protective order issued after the person to be subject to the order has received notice and opportunity to be heard on the order, shall restrain such person from possessing, receiving, or otherwise accessing a firearm in accordance with section 922 of title 18," SEC. 529 of H.R. 4350 states.
Additionally, military court protective orders issued on an emergency basis are exempted from providing the recipient with the standard "right to due process." Instead, "notice and opportunity to be heard" must only be provided after an order was already issued."
First, U.S. military bases are already "gun free" zones as personnel are prohibited from possessing privately owned weapons without special authorization.
Second, any service member who can't be trusted with a gun needs to be an ex-service member.
Third, what part of the Constitution says the the right to due process can be waived at governmental whim? Innocent until proven guilty ring any bells?
It's not difficult to see behind the curtain on this one. Disarm the people most capable of being a threat to your power.
artichoke in reply to Gosport. | June 23, 2022 at 6:02 pm
It's getting very hard to find a reason to join the military. Forced vaxes including mRNA gene therapy, woke indoctrination, and coming under the jurisdiction of a military court. Sounds like making oneself into an inferior person in the US, I could hardly recommend it.
ConradCA in reply to artichoke. | June 24, 2022 at 12:11 am
Worse would be to have a Democratic president as your commander. Obama and Hillary abandoned our people in Liby. Obama promised to help defend Ukraine and did nothing when Russia attacked. Biden is on Russia and China's payroll. He botched our withdrawal from Afghanistan and is mishandling the current war in Ukraine. Only a fool would serve under a progressive fascist AKA Democrat.
ConradCA in reply to ConradCA. | June 24, 2022 at 12:26 am
Biden should never have assured Putin that he didn't have to worry about USA and NATO forces fighting with Ukraine. He should have held maneuvers on the Russian and Ukrainian border practicing and preparing to fight in Ukraine. He should have declared a zone along the border in which Russian planes would be shot down. Furthermore, he could have helped Ukraine raise a number of volunteer divisions to fight with them. These actions would make a big difference in the war which is why Bide didn't do the. He can't anger his paymaster.

Um, Biden was involved with the regime in Ukraine, not Russia. And do you think Russia could not have retaliated against USA more than they have already?

Nice to see any sign that we have a Constitution
American Human | June 23, 2022 at 4:03 pm
Okay so does this mean that only NY's "may carry" law is unconstitutional or will the MD law also be struck down too and any other state? Does this only apply to NY or what?
Some of us would like to carry in MD but we have the same restrictions as NY does/did.
artichoke in reply to American Human. | June 23, 2022 at 6:04 pm
The ruling will constrain courts ruling on similar fact patterns. In other words, yes if it's similar to the NY law, the MD law is not long for this world.
BobM | June 23, 2022 at 6:18 pm
Roe v Wade is not the topic for this thread.
NY State's long lasting ridiculously illegal curtailment of 2nd amendment rights is.
Effectively the standard has been interpreted that you have a right to conceal carry if you are rich or have political power. Not if you are a normal plebe.
Few years back (Onondaga county) a sitting judge from a local political dynasty was infamous for never approving issuance of CC permits. To anyone. Don't waste your time. Including denying a permit to the owner of a local bodega (Syracuse) who had been repeatedly robbed at gunpoint both in his store and making bank drops.
The very first CC he issued was to himself – after a perp who had appeared before him had issued threats. In Orwell speak not all animals are equal.

Not the topic but with all the hand wringing and fainting couch theatrics from the left today I can hardly wait for Dobbs to be released. The tears of rage will flow like rivers. Assuming of course that we don't get shanked by an opinion watered down since the draft was leaked.

You the thread police? If so, I declare you defunded.
PS – re: the poster who predicted a wave of mass shootings in Times Square as a result of this ruling. Only politeness prevents me from extensive questioning of your ability to logic.
As explicitly pointed out in the decision paper if a shooter is prepared to mass shoot in the first place he/she is not going to decide he'd better not break the CC laws while doing so.

The lefty talking points failed to convince the constitution to change. Yes, I understand that the constitution cannot change itself, just like guns don't kill.
ConradCA | June 23, 2022 at 10:27 pm
If progressive fascists are concerned about crime then they should change the laws to be tougher on repeat criminals and on those who use guns to commit crimes. The truth is that they don't care about crime or murders. They are just using this issue to try to strip our citizens of their guns.
They seek to turn the USA into their progressive fascist. This would require violating our constitution and destroying our liberty. The founders wrote the 2nd amendment to ensure that citizens would be able to defend our liberty from tyranny. Dems know this which is the only reason they are against citizens owning firearms.

Ferrari, Italy and Formula 1: Where Have the Italian Drivers Gone, and Why?
However, the indifference of the country's racing fans to anyone not driving a Ferrari and the inability of Italian companies to provide support means it may still be a few years before we see another Italian in an F1 cockpit. However, they did not ever produce the World Feed. Take advantage of our vast experience and local expertise in organising a great weekend including visits to the best shops and restaurants in Milan. Pay Live Live Live Live Live Using coverage. They also showed live coverage of practice and qualifying sessions from those races. Ten million would do nicely , invest the rest for the somewhat poorer teams , still commercial value is so easy 21 x 3 hours your brand promoted for almost free all the newspapers for free all those sites for free maybe some one could calculate what is cost to play an commercial for 60 hours Approx! The show highlights the races, from the practices to the checkered flag and shows interviews with the F1 drivers. Mechanical trouble meant she finished fifth.
Lack of Italian drivers in Formula 1
The lack of young, talented Italian drivers is a very big concern. F1 seems so far, so difficult to reach the main feeder series are in Europe and Asia, and you have to start very young, as Max Verstappen, the new star of Red Bull, who had his first race in F1 at 17. She was briefly banned from Brookland track when it opened in 1907, officials arguing that as there were no female jockeys it would be wrong to have female drivers. Across the two seasons he won nine consecutive races, a record still unbeaten 60 years later. Teams like Force India, Haas, McClaren etc.
Why are there so few US drivers in Formula One?
While testing a Ferrari at Monza he crashed under unexplained circumstances and was killed. So, what are the underlying reasons for it? In July 2018, it was understood that Channel 4 were in final negotiations with Sky and Liberty Media to continue with the free to air rights. There is only a small percentage of aspiring girl racers - compared to the hundreds of thousands of boys - who attempt a racing career, so the chances of them getting through to F1 is always going to be remote. Katherine Legge during F1 test For Minardi 2005 from Venezuela But, there are many background reasons for this. Only six drivers from Italy have won more than a single race, Ascari being the most successful with 13 victories. But as of now, none of these drivers will be in or anywhere near Formula One and the possibility of any of them actually getting a drive seem very unlikely.
All three championships came in the early 1950s and very few Italian drivers have come close since Ascari's 1953 victory. Perhaps his worst time in the sport came between 1985 and 1987 when he only finished six of the 42 races he started. For the entire , was Hausleitner's main co-commentator. And finally, the access to the paddock at Indy lets fans enter the garages, meet the drivers, enjoy all of this with a relative cheap ticket. On leaving Ferrari Alboreto's career went downhill with only one podium finish in his final six years. Is it because they're not good enough? As usual, the is basically a nine-month tour of some of the greatest countries, cities and race circuits in the world.
List of Formula One drivers
The 1960s saw British drivers Graham Hill and notch two championships apiece, with compatriot Jackie Stewart beginning his run of three titles in five years in 1969. Is it because they haven't had the opportunity? A report from a particular newspaper from India suggested that the Anglo-Indian team was looking at an option of reserving a seat for. Anyone who says she doesn't belong here, just feels threatened. They also broadcast live the Mexican Grand Prix from Practice 1 to the Race from the Autódromo Hermanos Rodríguez, since 2015, with Rafael and Carlos accompanied by Eric Fisher. At the 1928 Targa Florio she actually led until near the end, finally finishing fifth but beating many of the leading drivers of the time. This list includes all drivers who have entered a World Championship race, including participants of the between and when it was part of the World Championship although not being run according to Formula One rules. Four Italian drivers have started more than 200 races, easily more than any other country.
Ascari had made his debut with Ferrari in 1950, coming fifth in the championship after contesting just four races. He left Formula One after the 1993 season to race touring cars. There are talents, but if nobody supports them there's no hope. Broadcast channel for Practice 1 and 2 is on a race by race basis. The first ever championship was won by Giuseppe Farina, with Alfa Romeo. Are there regulations actually prohibiting women? During the first 10 years of the sport, the championship title was won 8 times by an Italian car, which is certainly a big percentage.
There's More To Michael Andretti's Ill
This era also saw the rise of the McLaren team - with drivers Niki Lauda, Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna share seven titles in eight years between 1984 and 1991. Grand Prix Events has been hosting this unique and prestigious race in Milan and Lake Como with a tremendous success. Mercedes recorded one-two finishes in each of the opening five races of the season for the first time ever. . Initially she was his mechanic, when he found gear changes a struggle because of a war injury, she took over and made her professional debut in 1923.
Italian F4 runner
Alberto Ascari won the drivers' championship for in 1952 and became to first person to retain the title. She was first entered for the with Brabham but failed to qualify, returning to the sport in 1975 with March. Former British F4 runner-up Oscar Piastri leads the standings after the first four races. Is it because they aren't interested? He drove in four races across 1991 and 1992 before securing a full-time drive with Lotus in 1993. He returned to Formula One for four races in 1955 and, despite finishing on the podium at all three of the ones he started, he felt unable to continue. Three days after that Stewart again drove faster, and this time Petre admitted defeat. The Pit lane, Driver Tracker and Live Timing channels are available to Sky viewers in the United Kingdom.
Formula One drivers from Italy
In this era of political correctness, women's rights, and open-mindedness, I want to remind you of a time when minds weren't so open. Pit reporter are female journalists Noemí de Miguel and Roberto Rodríguez, Miguel Portillo, as well as former F1 engineer in and Albert Fàbrega. Lance Stroll Williams Not known. Also, the Belgian Grand Prix renewed its association with F1 and will keep its place on the schedule until at least 2021. The devastated Juneková retired immediately, sold all her cars, and went travelling. Force India and Ferrari are two examples of teams pushing their local talent in the opposite spectrum.
The deal which ran between 2012 and 2015 saw Sky Sports show live coverage of every session of the season on their own F1 dedicated channel,. However, he got a third driver role with the Lotus F1 Team, and is surely hoping to be able to step into the car as often as possible on practice sessions. Imagine the Ferrari team with a talented Italian driver — it would be a perfect combination for these very passionate Italian people. Another thing that Americans love is to have the Indycar Series throughout many cities in the country. No No No Live Live and Free in Belgium, with encryption on Astra 19.

My initial assessment of Barack Obama was that he was a pathological narcissist. While I stand by that assessment, as we get deeper into his first term, we find there are other contributing factors that will, when history is finally and honestly written, determine his presidency to have been even worse than both Woodrow Wilson and Jimmy Carter.
What part of "we told you so" is so hard to understand? For decades everyone on both sides (tyranny versus liberty) have been bemoaning our dependence on foreign oil. It's a Sword of Damocles that's been dangling over our collective heads since Commissar Carter turned off the air conditioning, but all we do is talk about how we have to "decrease our dependence" and "develop alternative sources", yada, yada yada. We've all dreaded the day when we'd be really held hostage by events we could no longer control, and now it is here. But, we've always had the solution, and we've allowed those with less wisdom than my socks to talk us out of using it.
Is the Car in the Ditch, Or Worse?
If you buy into the lie that Conservatives "drove the car into the ditch" during the Bush Administration, then taking that metaphor to its logical conclusion, the Obama Administration has doused the car with gas, set it on fire, and rolled it off a cliff! They claim we "want the keys back". Yep - we wanted to drive it out of the ditch. However, union organizers (related to "community organizers") are now attacking the burning car with explosives, and if they succeed, there won't be a car left to drive!
