i don't think we made mention of Judge Bork becoming Catholic.

Well now he's sure to never be on the Supreme Court. Since the Democrat minority has been subjecting prior to an unconstitutional religious test.

John Bahnzaf is now after ICE CREAM. that is just UNAMERICAN!

John Barfhalfazz is UNAMERICAN. That man makes my skin crawl.

He's the kind of sleaze ball that hurts the legal profession, I mean he makes slimy lawyers look like angels. (nothing personal XS!!!)

I have been known to imbibe in a few potations now and then but I don't think it ever made me this delusional.
