(18,669 posts)Time and again politicians who fail to understand basics, not only of firearms but of common sense, repeat the mistakes made by other similarly impaired politicians in the past.
While the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act which contained the Federal AWB was being legislated and passed here, Ms Healey was playing pro basketball in Austria. She returned to the US, graduated law school and passed the bar. Her experience in law includes:
- "compliance reports on the cleanup of the Boston Harbor"
- "assisted the judge with trials, hearings and case conferences"
- "subsequently spent more than 7 years with a focus on commercial and securities litigation"
- "she also served as a special assistant district attorney in Middlesex County, where she tried drug, assault, domestic violence and motor vehicle cases in bench and jury sessions and argued bail hearings, motions to suppress, and probation violations and surrenders"
- "served as Chief of the Civil Rights Division, where she spearheaded the state's challenge to the federal Defense of Marriage Act. She led the winning arguments for Massachusetts in Americas first lawsuit striking down the law."
- "In 2012, she was promoted to Chief of the Public Protection & Advocacy Bureau. She was then appointed Chief of the Business and Labor Bureau."
- "As a division chief and bureau head in the Attorney General's Office, Healey oversaw 250 lawyers and staff members and supervised the areas of consumer protection, fair labor, ratepayer advocacy, environmental protection, health care, insurance and financial services, civil rights, antitrust, Medicaid fraud, not-for-profit organizations and charities, and business, technology and economic development."
Possibly she should consult with her partner before embarking on these obscure trips into wonderland.
