Lots of people took one doing their duty. Their opinion doesn't trump the Constitution either.

And neither does Rep Gifford's point.

Whoa!! "I" have nothing to this women other than to admire her courage in a public forum. That's not a bad thing at all.

You weren't listening well. No surprise!

Congrats, got one right.

The modern definition of a "good" politician is one who magnifies the power and revenue of government without regard to the consequences. Passing laws, especially useful ones like "banning light bulbs" and "daylight savings time" are occasionally matched by useless ones that have zero effect on criminals.

It's clear to me that if members of the U.S. Senate refuse to change the laws to reduce gun violence, then we need to change the members of the U.S. Senate." Gabrielle Giffords

Gabby can go back to AZ and work on her motor skills, but she can keep her lame ass crap to herself.

Keeping it classy, as always.

Look, the poor woman was grievously wounded. I don't doubt her sincerity one bit, but her personal history doesn't add weight to the rightness (or wrongness) of her position.

She is being used just like James Brady was. Sad.
