Dianne Feinstein (D-CA)&nbsp;got her assault weapons ban (sic) &#8211; S. 150 &#8211;&nbsp;out of the Senate Judiciary Committee today on a 10-8 party line vote. It now goes to the full Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) offered four amendments to the bill which were all defeated on an 8-10 party line vote. His amendments would have made exceptions for those in rural areas; for those who had obtained a protective order; for those who certified they were the victims of domestic violence, sexual assault, dating violence, or stalking; and for those people who were residents in a county or municipality that borders Mexico to protect themselves against the narco-terrorists. I think Cornyn&#8217;s intention was to put the Democrats on record as anti-rural, anti-woman, and anti-self defense.<\/p>\n<p>The votes on Jane Kelly to be an Appeals Court judge in the 8th Circuit and on Kenneth Gonzales to be a District Court judge in New Mexico were held over.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;The results of the business meeting as reported are below:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>Results of Executive Business Meeting &#8211; March 14, 2013 <br \/>The Senate Judiciary Committee held an executive business meeting to consider pending nominations and legislation on March 14, 2013.<\/p>\n<p>Agenda<\/p>\n<p>I.

Press Secretary Jay Carney had this to say:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>&#8220;Earlier today, the Senate Judiciary committee voted to send the full Senate an important piece of legislation to help keep weapons of war off America\u2019s streets,&#8221; Carney said Thursday. &#8220;As you know, banning military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines is an important piece of the president&#8217;s plan to reduce gun violence.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We urge congress to swiftly vote on and pass this legislation and other common-sense measures like requiring a background check for all gun purchases and cracking down on gun trafficking and straw purchasers. There&#8217;s been significant progress this week on these proposals and the president welcomes that. We urge congress to keep it up.&#8221;<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Frankly every time I hear the words &#8220;common sense&#8221; out of Jay Carney or President Obama&#8217;s mouth, I shudder at the perversion of the English language.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sen.
