One of these days that will come out as well.
Kagan is a member of the Piarte Roberts’ Court. She does not answer to the people before, during, or after confirmation.
Argh.
I'm shocked! /sarc
This FORKED-TONGUE PORKER will be poisoning the Supreme Court for years to come.
Paging Jerome Corsi....
A Socialist lie about her past? How shocking! /s
Sometimes the obvious doesn’t go without saying.
Too late. This might have been blocked if the Republicans had fought it. But they lay down and rolled over—as usual.
My old fingers meant PIRATE, and I’ll leave you to figure it out as the appointed black-robed oligarch enables the ‘changers in power’.
This is why the Tea Party must take back the US Senate
