      Yup. Corporations will now win every time at the SCOTUS unless Anthony Kennedy goes liberal on this issue like he has on social issues. I really do appreciate the lesson 3rd party/non-voting lefties taught us, which is if you think the Democrats are getting a little too cozy with big business, the solution to allow the Republicans to let corporations do pretty much whatever they want! Makes sense to me.

                Too short. 20. Though the odds of this happening are the same as Clarkson beating Cornell in the post season,

                    Can we have a reporter ask Trump if he knows a single Ted Nugent song off of the top of his head? For that matter, ask most people if they know one; also ask if they know a single good Chuck Norris movie.

                      "Cat Scratch Fever" was a hit before we knew he was a dick.

                      I doubt Trump knows even one song from anyone, unless it's some Sinatra-type who used to suck up to him.

                      I can't imagine Trump has either the soul or the cognitive ability to appreciate music.

                        Yeah that's pretty much the only one.

                        Also, apologies for posting this to the SCOTUS thread and not the POTUS thread, sometimes I lose track of which one I'm on.
