He certainly spares no words in his criticism of MSI. For that reason alone I discount most any of his "statements of fact" as he sees them.
As you noted, bright guy. No people skills at all however. Pity, we could use his help but not in the manner he has offerred it.
The young lady you mention was quite engaging AND supportive. As long as she tells 2 friends, and so on... I consider it one of the best encounters of any sort I had today.
As for the highlighted bit... we have our OWN leprechaun... and he ain't helping.
That Alston woman is really on the mark it seems.
I'm not so sure about this western maryland guy, he seems a little bit hostile in a not good hostile way.
Please post a link to the hearings. It's obvious what I'm using isn't working.

I found her approach today interesting.
Very 'cool' to the "shall-issue" at first, even questioning the training requirements for the Utah (I think she did her homework and was building a case). She perked up at the revenues aspect--it seemed like something she hadn't realized before.
Later on, she revisited the Utah training, but more from a perspective of what it covered.
At the end of the HB45/1135 series, she even went back to the Conaway permit issue, really raking the MSP over it.
In short... I don't know if she changed her mind midway, or was really looking to solidify a case for Shall-Issue. Either way, I think she's on our side.
Time will tell.
Gotta love the MSP. They can give an oxymoronic response that would make Joe Biden proud.
