Bricker: any documentation at all = "intense documentation" so don't ask me for any

Just to make sure: you agree that the fact of having ultimately changed their stance doesn’t imply they didn’t mean that stance in the first place?

Absolutely.

As I said early on in the GD thread (emphasis added here):

@Bricker

I certainly understand your desire to empathize that nothing in the above was underhanded – you claim that when the Democrats said they weren’t going to enact any gun legislation, they were being honest; then circumstances changed. That may well be true, but I’m not accusing the Democrats of bad faith. I am just pointing out that their prediction – for what very possibly might have been good, albeit unforeseeable, reasons – was not accurate. Will they return to it, even so?

For extra clarity: when I said “…was not accurate…” I mean that as things turned out, the prediction about their future action was not accurate, NOT that the claim they made at the time was not accurate. I don’t say they lied, or failed to live up to a commitment.
