I know that she's been pushing to at least get informed consent for minors attempting to have abortions, but the legislators are stalling on it. If I remember correctly, there's a noisy democratic majority in the legislature that sits around and bitches and gripes the entire legislative session about anything Palin tries to do and snipes at her, then complains about how she's being "partisan."

I look at stances on politicians, but pretty much always vote against the incumbent when it comes to judges... no judge needs to be entrenched in their seat, in my opinion.

I saw a sticker in a car window that speaks plainly about this:

"A free man doesn't ask permission to bear arms."

By definition, criminals break the law--additional restrictions on firearms won't affect them, they only affect those of us who obey the law. I don't know that the White House will attempt to take any action to reduce the possession of guns because of this, but I'm guessing that they will do something more underhanded, like allowing affected victims to sue the gun companies or something. Population disarmament will never gain popular support, they're going to go about back-door methods and drive up the cost of producing firearms and ammunition to the point that citizens can't afford them.
