The Night the Constitutional Lawyer Socked It to the Supreme Court
It was a sight to behold. They sat up front, just nine of them in their black robes. Then, in no uncertain terms, the constitutional lawyer told them they were not "supreme". They have no business making laws - their job is to interpret law. It left one of the stone kings muttering to himself as he was caught on camera. They went beyond their constitutional duty by ruling that corporations could rule our voting system if they wanted. Money is not fucking free speech, he said in his body language.

It was wonderfully direct. The two-faced Party sat there like dummies, even when the constitutional lawyer jabbed them in the face repeatedly with the truth. He reminded the nation of the $1.3 trillion dollar deficit left by the last Royal occupant of the big, white house. They stared unbelievingly into space as he reminded them that they cut taxes by over a trillion dollars for the wealthy, fought two wars, passed a $600 billion dollar Medicare program, doubled the defense budget, and never paid for one red "mother-fucking" cent of it.

You should have been there. :-)

1. I loved it
I think he sent a clear message to the "supremes" that they won't soon forget.

That is exactly the kind of leader that we elected and are so lucky to have.

3. I liked his speech...
and I think most of the polls show that the people who watched it liked it also. He definitely placed a turd in their kool-aid bowl...
