Needing a written reminder to listen at a "listening session" means you never planned to listen in

the first place.

Inviting 9 folks to a "bipartisan" listening session, but only one Democrat, means you only intended to listen to one side.

Mentioning with love one public interest, non-profit, non-tax paying advocacy group's ideas, but mentioning no other opposing groups ideas means you only intend to advocate for that group's "solutions".

Arming teachers in schools for protection against " homicidal madmen" so they will think first before shooting at schools fails to understand madmen who, by definition, do not think well.

Protecting 14,000 schools with armed guards and employees means the bad guy with a gun will just go somewhere else.

Not listening is an insult to the first amendment, which actually comes before the second, and the first does not need to be updated.
