Tone it down, senator. There is no fire in this theater.: Surely Sen. Lummis, an attorney who took an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution, one whose congressional ancestors crafted the language she now seeks to unwind, understands the implications of greenlighting limitations of speech.
I didn't get a chance to read this essay until today.
It's excellent.
Cynthia Lummis has taken an oath to obey the Constitution more than once. At least one time for every time she's been elected to office, and upon becoming a member of the State Bar. She's violating that oath with her statements that following the assassination of Charlie Kirk 1st Amendment protections must be reduced.
And keep this in mind, MAGA members. If you support this, reducing rights under the 2nd Amendment is the obvious next step. If we're in some sort of crisis justifying limiting free speech, we're certainly in one justifying restricting firearms.
Lummis, by her statements, is no longer fit to be a U.S. Senator or a member of the Wyoming State Bar. She should resign from both. And if she doesn't resign as Senator, and of course she will not, Wyoming's voters ought to put her into retirement the next time she's up for reelection, by which time, we might note, political winds will have almost certainly changed.
