1. WOW

That was nothing short of SPECTACULAR!!!

Thank you Sen Whitehouse

[bbgrunt]

2. lots of good words....but I'm sick of righteous arguments. We need action!

[GOTV]

6. Absolutely. Our recent Dem majorities sure have given us plenty of powerful talk nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

8. Ditto.

[s-cubed]

3. Senator Whitehouse is implying, without saying it, that Roe v Wade is next.

That's the clear implication of his description of the court's reasoning: because they are deeply divided, that's reason enough to overturn precedent. Is impeachment really off the table? If they do overturn Roe v Wade, will impeachment be an option?

4. He speaks for me! nt

5. Speaking to an empty house it appears nt

7. in a perfect world, the ruling would be just.

but it isn't a perfect world and the purity free speech people need to grow up.

9. Whitehouse was great!

He was right -- this was part of a right wing conspiracy to help corporations and the wealthy.

It truly is unbelievable that the Supreme Court would make fact finding when there was nothing in the record to support it.

10. Time for Action ..... Words Won't Do It

We have another case of an intelligent, articulate individual. Everything he said is so valid .... buuuuut, what we need is action. Enough talk let's move on creating an amendment or whatever piece paper we need to reverse this action.:fistbump"

12. Listening with your eyes closed to this video

gives one the feeling they are listening to a preview to one of the Godfather movies.
I would believe this is prosecutable under the RICO Act. I don't see too much difference
in what the Mob has done since the early 1900's and what government has become ?
