We saw exactly how partisan the Supreme court was. And how elections
of our alledged choices are bought and sold like so much raw meat
on the chicago merck. I voted for none of the ruling party, The
only way to solve this problem involves much blood and gunpowder
and won't happen till the economy tanks in a major way.
Sorry, very very sorry.
