That was the thread to which our Capitan had posted material that had been, ummmmmm, compromised from certain Supreme Court briefs and made to do duty for the actual opinions handed down in famous cases, wasn't it?
If you want to know what happened to your KIAs and how GOPcrapitalist brought it on, just contact Jim Robinson.
I can give you more of the story, but you're going to have to ask politely.
