I don’t care which party has the right ideas — or which party has the wrong ideas. I am very, very, very interested in civility.

The late Cokie Roberts, champion of civility uber alles. So long as the children are going into the cages in a polite, dignified fashion, the policy is, by definition, perfectly fine and above question.

…kids are in danger when they go to school and their peers offer them a Juul hit in the bathroom, but they’re also in danger when their peers show up with semiautomatic rifles and shoot them. Yet while e-cigarettes constitute something people choose to put in their own body—that is, not an express violation of other citizens’ rights—they’re up for a ban. Insanely powerful weapons of war, which are regularly used to infringe on the rights of other citizens, must be freely available to all in perpetuity.

Mango Juuls don’t kill people, people smoking Mango Juuls kill people. Which is why we’re banning Mango Juuls.
