President Joe Biden nominated Virginia’s top trial lawyer to the federal bench last week. Solicitor General Toby Heytens has argued numerous high-profile cases – most recently defending Governor Ralph Northam’s decision to remove the Robert E. Lee monument in Richmond.
Biden nominated Heytens to the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. The Richmond-based court hears appeals from federal district courts in Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina. The Fourth Circuit has 15 judges with lifetime appointments. Heytens would replace Judge Barbara Milano Keenan who will take senior status in August.

When it comes to issues facing the gubernatorial Virginia election, abortion deserves to have more of a spotlight. Specifically, it s the abortion extremism of Democratic gubernatorial candidate, Terry McAuliffe, and those who support his campaign, which needs to be addressed.
McAuliffe, who served as governor from 2013-2017 has taken to bragging about his stance on abortion, specifically when it comes to being a brick wall on any regulations or restrictions against it.
He used the phrase in October 2013, while on the campaign trail. The ad which mentions the brick wall line also included an exchange between McAuliffe and a woman, with McAuliffe saying I would support stopping any restrictions, when asked as governor, would you oppose any restrictions on my right to an abortion at any time?
Tucson to ignore Arizona Second Amendment Sanctuary law

TUCSON, Ariz, (AP) Officials in Tucson plan to ignore a new “Second Amendment Sanctuary” law signed earlier this year that bars the use of any state or local resources to enforce federal gun laws that conflict with state law.
The move by Democratic Mayor Regina Romero and the City Council again puts the city and state at odds over how to regulate gun sales and use.
The city has long tried to enforce gun laws stricter than the state’s, including mandating background checks for guns purchased on city property and destroying seized firearms. Over the years, those measures were challenged after the Republican-controlled Legislature enacted laws barring the actions.
