Winning.
I wish Mitch would get off of his butt and begin ‘Rushing” this “Far-Right Takeover of Our Nation’s Courts”!!!
Outstanding!
Good. Then the world is just a little bit rosier today.
Their moonbat rhetoric and hate is as ugly as their mugs.
She’s 36, should be making rulings for a long time.
This article and that quote confirms her qualifications in my book.
