You beat us with your demands for lesser evil.
And you A$$hole, gave us a second term of Obama.
If I’m correct the NYT article was way before obama and was basically an in-depth look at Roberts as the new chief of the scotus.
And you funded him.
Judge Napolitano says now that Roberts and the majority on SCOTUS change the meaning of words they can rule any law as to what they want it to be, he’s right about the Bass turds.
Go Fu*k yourself Norm. You helped Obama win a second term.
Any primary school student knows that you capitalize “State” when referring to the pronoun of and individual State and don’t capitalize “state” when referring to generic noun of a particular nation. SCOTUS only has to look at their own title to understand this - Supreme Court of the United States not Supreme Court of the state.
Accept responsibility.
Got that blonde hair, blue eyed latin look—criminals at every level of govt.
Auto correct!
Oh
Unintended Consequences by John Ross
Bye Bye America
Sold out by the GOPe and Scrotus. The path is set, I cannot see a return no matter how the wimps in Congress will lie to us saying will fight. Tired of the lies and corruption from inside the beltway. Watch the nightly news to witness the devolution of the country.
“Unintended Consequences by John Ross”
Thank you! I will look it up.

How were the Children Adopted?
According to The New York Times, based on information from Mrs. Roberts’s sister, Mary Torre, the children were adopted through a private adoption.
As explained by Families for Private Adoption, “[p]rivate (or independent) adoption is a legal method of building a family through adoption without using an adoption agency for placement. In private adoption, the birth parents relinquish their parental rights directly to the adoptive parents, instead of to an agency.”2
But was Robert's adoption utilizing “a legal method”?
Apparently the process of adopting Jack involved some stress for John Roberts. According to Dan Klaidman of Newsweek, during the contested 2000 election, Roberts “spent a few days in Florida advising lawyers [for George W. Bush] on their legal strategy,” but “he did not play a central role,” because “ at the time, Roberts was preoccupied with the adoption of his son.”
It is now quite evident that the two Children were from Ireland. Even wikipedia references these adoptions at the time of Roberts’ confirmation, and indicates that the children were of Irish birth.
However Irish law 1) prohibits the adoption of Children to non-residents, and 2) also does not permit private adoptions, but rather has all adoptions go through a public agency.
This would explain the children's origin from a “Latin American country”, so as to circumvent Irish law.
Evidently Roberts arranged for this adoption through some sort of trafficking agency, that got the children out of Ireland and into that Latin American country, from which they were adopted, thereby circumventing two Irish laws — entirely illegal, but perhaps quasi-legitimized by the birth mothers (two) transporting the children out of Ireland.
Undoubtedly Roberts and his wife spent a great deal of money for this illegal process, circumventing Irish laws and arranging for the transit of two Irish children from separate birth-mothers to a foreign nation. Come 2012, those two children have been with the Roberts’ for roughly 10 years, since they were adopted as “infants”.
Some might feel an impulse dismiss this information, mistakenly believing Roberts and his wife were doing a good thing for a children needing a home.
That would be an inaccurate belief. As recognized, such an inter-country adoption would only come about at great cost, and those who utilize this method are creating a for-profit black market in adoptive children, trafficking across international borders, and doing so from mothers who have not yet given up their children except for that profit. Such actions are creating a very unsavory profit-for-children human trafficking market that even necessitates immediate contact with new birth mothers in dire circumstances to offer financial gain. The entire arrangement is thoroughly predatory, turning children into only financial commodity, and even providing motivation for their birth mothers to give them up! That's an important ethical recognition.
For all those beaten, for the broken heads,
The fosterless, the simple, the opressed,
The ghosts in the burning city of our time
For those taken in rapid cars to the house and beaten
By the skillful boys, the boys with the rubber fists,
- Held down and beaten, the table cutting their loins,
Or kicked in the groin and left, with the muscles jerking
Like a headless hen's on the floor of the slaughter-house
While they brought the next man in with his white eyes staring
For those who still "Red Front!" or "God Save the Crown!"
And for those who were not courageous
But were beaten nevertheless.
For those who spit out the bloody stumps of their teeth
Quietly in the hall,
Sleep well on stone or iron, watch for the time
And kill the guard in the privy before they die,
Those with the deep-socketed eyes and the lamp burning.
For those who carry the scars, who walk lame- for those
Whose nameless graves are made in the prison-yard
And the earth smoothed back before morning and the lime scattered.
For those slain at once.
For those living through months and years
Enduring, watching, hoping, going each day
To the work or the queue for meat, or the secret club,
Living meanwhile, begetting children, smuggling guns,
And found and killed at the end like rats in a drain.
For those escaping
Incredibly into exile and wandering there.
For those who live in the small rooms of foreign cities
And who yet think of the country, and the long green grass,
The childhood voices, the language, the way the wind smelt then,
The shape of rooms, the coffee drunk at the table,
The talk with friends, the loved city, the waiter's face,
The gravestones, with the name, where they will not lie
Nor in any of that earth.
Their children are strangers.
For those who planned and were leaders and were beaten
And for those, humble and stupid, who had no plan
But were denounced, but were angry, but told a joke,
But could not explain, but were sent away to the camp,
But had their bodies shipped back in the sealed coffins,
"Died of pneumonia." "Died trying to escape."
For those growers of wheat that were shot by their own wheat-stacks,
For those growers of bread who were sent to the ice-locked wastes,
And their flesh remembers their fields.
For those denounced by their smug , horrible children
For a peppermint-star and the praise of the Perfect State,
For all those strangled, gelded, or merely starved
To make perfect states; for the priest hanged in his cassock,
The Jew with his chest crushed in and his eyes dying,
The revolutionist lynched by the private guards,
To make perfect states, in the names of the perfect states.
For those betrayed by the neighbours they shook hands with
And for the traitors, sitting in the hard chair
With the loose sweat crawling their hair and their fingers restless
As they tell the street and the house and the man's name.
And for those sitting at the table in the house
With the lamp lit and the plates and the smell of food,
Talking so quietly; when they hear the cars
And the knock at the door, and they look at each other quickly
And the woman goes to the door with a stiff face,
Smoothing her dress.
"We are all good citizens here. We believe in the Perfect State."
And that was the last Time Tony or Karl or Shorty came to the house
And the family was liquidated later.
It was the last time.
We heard the shots in the night
But nobody knew the next day what the trouble was
And a man must go to his work.
So I didn't see him
For three days, then, and me near out of my mind
And all the patrols on the streets with their dirty guns.
And when he came back, he looked drunk, and the blood was on him.
For the women who mourn their dead in the secret night,
For the children taught to keep quiet, the old children,
The children spat-on at school.
For the wrecked labratory,
The gutted house, the dunged picture, the pissed-in well,
The naked corpse of Knowledge flung in the square
And no man lifting a hand and no man speaking.
For the cold of the pistol-butt and the bullet's heat,
For the ropes that choke, the manacles that bind,
The huge voice, metal, that lies from a thousand tubes
And the stuttering machine-gun that answers all.
For the man crucified on the crossed machine guns
Without name, without resurrection, without stars,
His dark head heavy with death and his flesh long sour
With the smell of his many prisons - John Smith, John Doe,
John Nobody - oh, crack your mind for his name!
Faceless as water, naked as the dust,
Dishonored as the earth the gas-shells poison
And barbarous with portent.
This is he.
This is the man they ate at the green table.
Putting their gloves on ere they touched the meat.
This is the fruit of war, the fruit of peace,
This ripeness of invention, the new lamb,
The answer to the wisdom of the wise.
And still he hangs, and still he will not die,
And still, on the steel city of our years
The light falls and the terrible blood streams down.
We thought we were done with these things but we were wrong.
We thought, because we had power, we had wisdom.
We thought the long train would run to the end of Time.
We thought the light would increase.
Now the lng train stands derailed and the bandits loot it.
Now the boar and the asp have power in our time.
Now the night rolls ack on the west and the night is solid.
Our fathers and ourselves sowed dragon's teeth.
Our children know and suffer the armed men.
"The Affordable Care Act adopts a version of the three key reforms that made the Massachusetts system successful."
Which is a false premise, per Gruber, and also due to Ted Kennedy's $400,000,000 corrupt cash infusion.
Boehner and McConnell were elected the leaders of both houses. Meaning the MAJORITY of Republicans like these two guys A LOT. Oh yeah you know it. Anyhow, the Republican leadership have been much more effective at passing the Administration's agenda that Pelosi and Reid.
The GOP has basically merged with the DNC The new majority party is the Establishment, made up of Republicans and Democrats, also known as the Globalist.
The REAL opposition party to the Globalist is the Tea Party.
The Tea Party is going to have to organize. The Republican party at the national level, for the most party, essentially is gone. It has merged with the DNC.
So.... voting for the lesser of the two evils..., would not have made ANY difference. I agree with Norm's position.
@Artcore you have wishful thinking about the Republican party that is not going to happen. It's no longer the party of Ronald Reagan.
Not me.
I wonder if the theft of federal employee records affected the SCOTUS justices?
