To the Editor: I was intrigued by the title of Vincent Scala’s column “Forget democracy, the nation is not even a republic” (The Chief, June 17) After reading it, I was in awe.

To the Editor: In reading The Chief I keep coming across the word "progressive." The rank and file are simply pro union.  Assuming that we agree with one political party sells us short.

To the Editor: Donald Trump, now the nation’s Fabricator-In-Chief, has called the courageous January 6th Committee witness Cassidy Hutchinson, a liar and a girl with mental problems.

To the Editor: An old adage goes “to a hammer, everything is a nail.” The fourth and fifth public hearings of the January 6th Committee revealed a new twist on this adage — to a criminal, everyone is  crooked.

To the Editor: I'll give Joseph Cannisi credit for one thing in his letter "Two parties, ex parte" (June 24th Chief). Unlike in 2017 (not 2016), he did not attribute any views to me that were opposite positions I had actually taken.

To the Editor: Joseph Cannisi's "The ever-slippery slope" letter (June 17) about a U.S. Supreme Court decision that, voted for by Republican judges, expanded gun owners' rights with a dubious interpretation of the Second Amendment, was right on the mark.

To the Editor: Joseph Cannisi's June 3rd letter, "Cartels wrecking havoc," tells part of the story. The February 22nd "Hightower Lowdown" goes into more detail.

To the Editor: For roughly the first 200 years of our country’s existence, the courts (rightly) interpreted the second Amendment in the context of “a well-regulated militia.”

To the Editor: In this important election year, Republicans are quick to point out that Donald Trump is not on the ballot. While that may be true, his shadow looms large over GOP candidates.
