We are here because of Garland's foot dragging. Now the Supremes can delay until a trial is not possible [View all]

Thanks Merrick Garland. I blame you.

Motherfucker doesn't need to delay. You did plenty.

Don't talk to me about bashing a Democratic figure. This criticism is well deserved.

I think all your "laughter" tells its own story, which is certainly not refuted by your words. Scrivener7 Feb 29 #99
