Some not Happy with NY Senate Pick

Some people aren't that happy with the pick by Governor of New York to fill Senator Clinton's spot.

Democratic Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, a strong advocate of gun control, told CNN's Mary Snow on Friday that Paterson is "making a very bad choice as far as picking someone who in my opinion doesn't represent New York state."

McCarthy, whose husband was shot to death, said she boycotted the press conference in Albany, New York, because Paterson was "picking the person who I obviously do not agree with."

McCarthy said she's fought for tougher gun safety measures and cited Gillibrand's strong support for Second Amendment rights. The Second Amendment deals with the right to bear arms.

Gillibrand, however, touts her support of the National Instant Criminal Background Check System Improvement Act, which provides incentives to states to update background checks, according to Gillibrand's congressional Web site. - CNN

I had to put this up, not that I care what they do in New York, it was the comments from McCarthy just had me shaking my head. She is blasting Gillibrand for supported the Constitution of America. She is blasting her for supporting an Amendment, while arguing to change it. That is what is wrong with some of these idiots. The Constitution is suppose to be the laws that we are Governed by, but they thing that they should just change them to fit their needs and desires.
