    Dude lobbing nukes is allowed. My calling it a nuclear option doesn't mean its not allowed. It means in most cases its probably the dumbest idea.
    Honestly, would it cause you physical pain to not insert your words into other's mouths?

    Emphasis mine --
    Article II
    Section 1.The President shall, at stated times, receive for his services, a compensation..........

    Article III
    Section 1. ...........The judges, both of the supreme and inferior courts, shall hold their offices during good behaviour, and shall, at stated times, receive for their services, a compensation,........

    and for the record,
    Article I, Section 6. The Senators and Representatives shall receive a compensation for their services, to be ascertained by law [the Senators and Representatives], and paid out of the treasury of the United States.

    How is it possible that anyone can be beholden to "ethical behavior?" Ethical behavior cannot talk, prosecute, fire, dismiss, arrest or anything else.

    Citizens united is a completely unconstitutional disaster that takes away the rights of the common people and gives them to corporations and rich people.

    The founding fathers are probably still spinning in their graves over that one.

    Color is not a factor in any comments about the corruption of the scumbag. It is the pathetic desperation in the defense of *******s like thomas that makes you bring race to the topic.

    Ys gotta love the Borowitz Report.

    Ginni Thomas to Be Listed on New York Stock Exchange

    Capping several quarters of robust profit growth, Ginni Thomas has announced that she will be listed on the New York Stock Exchange.

    Investors are expected to snap up shares in Thomas, who is believed to be the first spouse of a Supreme Court Justice also to be a major corporation.

    Harland Dorrinson, an analyst with Morgan Stanley, rated Thomas as a “strong buy,” telling CNBC, “I’m urging institutional investors to get out of the banking sector and into Ginni. Unlike the banks, Ginni doesn’t have to disclose where her revenue comes from.”

    He said that Mrs. Thomas’s listing on the N.Y.S.E. was a “cause for celebration” for all investors. “Billionaires have been buying and selling Ginni Thomas for years,” he said. “This will make it possible for smaller investors to get in on the action.”

    No, no I didn't miss. I hit Democrats right where they live. Without their list of isms and racist accusations to throw at anyone they don't like for any reason whatever they have nothing.

    You tell yourself that if it makes you feel better. It is only a contest in your mind, but keep trying...

    The overt rage and racial hatred shown toward Thomas is nauseating.

    Yo cannot be serious here Rod.

    There is a government office of Ethics called The OGE. The OGE was the number one supporter of campaign finance reform at the federal level.

    Do you think our political and judicial system should be able to be sold to the highest bidder ?

    Isnt the 14th amendment what you righties use t scream about George Soros ?
