Vitter has served more recently as general counsel for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New Orleans.

Wow, that is a fulltime job these days.
Sadly, that is likely true.
Susan Collins is a pill.
What are you implying? Do you know something, or are you just trying to make hip-sounding noises?
Yeah, being general counsel for an entity that owns extensive property, has multiple operating entities, and employs hundreds of (mostly lay) people is a full time job. So what?
“Susan Collins is a pill.”
That was the polite term my Mom used to use all the time. That understates it a million-fold.
A very good sign...
I was responding to someone else’s post. I have no personal knowledge about anything. The poster I was responded to was implying that there may have been sexual abuse going on. The New Orleans Archdiocese admits it.

It’s always a full-time job. A Catholic diocese in the USA oversees dozens of parish churches, elementary schools, high schools, charitable works of various sorts, employment of hundreds or thousands of people from building maintenance men to the Bishop, contracts with utilities, builders, and suppliers … having a few top-notch lawyers on staff is absolutely essential, particularly in the very litigious USA.
Does age come in to play here?
I would like to see her stay in the position for a long time.
Sen. Patty Murray said that was "dangerous rhetoric."
Apparently the crushing and dismemberment isn't so bad, it's the "rhetoric" that'll kill ya.
That was the polite term my Mom used to use all the time. That understates it a million-fold.
We used to use the phrase back in the 60’s.
It’s a fun way of saying something bad. :)
A cyanide pill to be specific.
Funny, rhetoric was a mandatory part of my education.
Crushing and dismembering babies must have been an elective.
I was just implying that the Catholics need a big team of lawyers since there are so many pedophile lawsuits against them these days. That was all that I meant by my post.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
Patriots are reminded that even if all Supreme Court justices were pro-abortion, it remains, since the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect having an abortion as a right, that abortion remains a state power issue, not the business of the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification feds.
In other words, and with all due respect to the family and friends of the late Terri Schiavo, the Supremes should have sent Roe v. Wade (Roe) back to the states as a state power issue just like they did in Terri’s case imo.
Comparing Roe with Terri’s case, the misguided, post-FDR era Supreme Court is showing double-standards with respect to state sovereignty imo.
In fact, using inappropriate terms like "concept" and "implicit" here is what was left of the 10th Amendment-protected state sovereignty after FDR's justices got finished with it in Wickard v. Filburn.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
"In discussion and decision, the point of reference, instead of being what was "necessary and proper" to the exercise by Congress of its granted power, was often some concept [???] of sovereignty thought to be implicit [??? emphases added] in the status of statehood." —Wickard v. Filburn, 1942.
Remember in November 2020!

She is 58, but that means nothing, except if she is healthy and not accident prone she probably has a good chance of being there for awhile. But accidents & illnesses happen that can change one’s life in the blink of an eye.
