How criminals justify their crimes to themselves is irrelevant.

Yet for some reason you buy into and venerate the justifications for crime offered by a criminal named Abe Lincoln on a daily basis around here. Go figure.

rustbucket: Even Lincoln acknowledges he did unconstitutional things. ...

GOP's response: How criminals justify their crimes to themselves is irrelevant.

RB: Even Lincoln acknowledges he did unconstitutional things. In his own words:

Partisan: How criminals justify their crimes to themselves is irrelevant.

Gianni: Finally, we agree on something.
