George Mason University School of Law has just been renamed the Antonin Scalia School of Law in honor of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia. Accompanying the name change was a receipt of a $30 million gift: $10 million from the Charles Koch Foundation and $20 million from an anonymous donor.

I thought they had decided on Antonin Scalia Law School because Antonin Scalia School of Law led to an...unfortunate acronym?
Probably Enemy To America (ETA ?) or something
When I first got on line in 1998, the Clintons were the big thing and not much tributarial activity outside of criminality
NOW .. it seems every element of thought is attacked by a barrage or re-defining words, confusing the traditional English comprehension of language
But liberal no longer upsets, frightens or puts on guard, the people that could make a difference
Liberals only bitch about conservatives.
The visual of liberals with bunched panties made me physically ill.
“The visual of liberals with bunched panties made me physically ill.”
The conservative solution to bunched panties should be obvious.
