If Obama tries that, he better make sure he “phones and pens” away the 2nd Amendment first.

Well, we’ll first have to wait and see if she accepts the FBI’s recommendation to indict Hillary for numerous felonies.

“Yea, we don’t have enough militant lesbian socialists on the court.”

Only when there are nine of them will that quota have been completely filled.

Sure... game-set-match. Right after she indicts anti-muslim “haters”.... Good Lord what a moronic commentator.

Of course Linda Graham, and McSlime would comply.

Loretta Lynch— what a cypher. Unless they could nominate Jocelyn Elders, who could then support “Eric Klapner”... for .....cocainer in chief.

Don't be too sure. She did get confirmed just last year to head Obama's DOJ. And she's black and female. Current Republican leadership doesn't have a good track record of standing up to that kind of pressure.

obama isn’t an idiot. He knows how squishy republicans are.

He’s gonna use the race card like a huge bat. It’s up to us to force those

losers in washington to stand strong. And if they don’t we need to march

on DC and drag those SOB’s out by their legs.
