They are one of two things:
Dreadfully uninformed
Liars.
The media has been hyping the importance of independent or undecided voters in the coming election. I can’t stand these people. I would argue most of them actually do know who they want to vote for. People have an inherent need to feel important. Once you have labled yourself [...]

A couple big cases coming up before the court soon.
DC Gun Ban/2nd Amendment
