Brexit has put Irish unity debate on the horizon

Former Irish president Mary McAleese has said that the debate on Irish unity is “on the horizon” as a result of Brexit.

Speaking at the Dublin City University (DCU) Brexit Institute Conference, Mrs McAleese said that the public has a duty to ensure the “groundwork is laid” ahead of any Irish unity referendum.

Mrs McAleese, who is a professor of children, law and religion at the University of Glasgow, said the debate is part of the Good Friday Agreement.

“It’s out there, the when of it we do not know but nonetheless, it’s on the horizon, ahead of us,” she said.

The 1998 Belfast Agreement states that the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland may call such a referendum if at any time it appears likely that the majority of voters in Northern Ireland would wish to leave the United Kingdom and enter into a united Ireland.

Professor McAleese claimed that Irish unity has focused on crude numbers of Catholics and nationalists “over and against” Protestants and unionists.

“And it has focused on the coming demographic changes which will in a relatively short time, give Northern Catholics a voting majority,” she added.

“We have instead now this opportunity to develop a wholly fresh focus on the future, making it a place of transcendence, where multiple identities can be respected, be accommodated, can grow to become one community, gathered around the principles of the Good Friday Agreement and the European Union.

Sounds like she's a mouthpiece for the cabal / EU.

Time for Ireland to reclaim their proud independence.

Judge blocks California's ban on magazines holding more than 10 rounds

A federal judge in California on Friday ruled against the Golden State’s ban on gun magazines that are able to hold more than 10 rounds.

U.S. District Court Judge Roger T. Benitez said the rule violates the Second Amendment and infringes upon citizens’ rights to defend themselves.

“California’s law prohibiting acquisition and possession of magazines able to hold any more than 10 rounds places a severe restriction on the core right of self-defense of the home such that it amounts to a destruction of the right and is unconstitutional under any level of scrutiny,” he wrote in an 86-page decision.

“California’s ban is far-reaching, absolute, and permanent. The ban on acquisition and possession on magazines able to hold more than 10 rounds, together with the substantial criminal penalties threatening a law-abiding, responsible, citizen who desires such magazines to protect hearth and home, imposes a burden on the constitutional right that this Court judges as severe.”

Benitez, a George W. Bush appointee who serves on the bench for the Southern District of California, also wrote that California’s ban unfairly impacts a wide swath of the state’s gun owners, as many choose to use magazines containing over 10 rounds for their defense.

“The magazine ban arbitrarily selects 10 rounds as the magazine capacity over which possession is unlawful…The ban on magazines that hold more than 10 rounds amounts to a prohibition on an entire class of ‘arms’ that is overwhelmingly chosen by American citizens for the lawful purpose of self-defense,” he ruled.

The National Rifle Association (NRA), which backed the lawsuit, hailed the decision as a “huge win for gunowners.”

“Judge Benitez took the Second Amendment seriously and came to the conclusion required by the Constitution,” NRA Executive Director Chris Cox said in a statement. “The same should be true of any court analyzing a ban on a class of arms law-abiding Americans commonly possess for self-defense or other lawful purposes.”
