    I suspect 9,000 were actually professional protesters, compensated by Soros et alia ... at least it helps stimulate the local economy, provided the damages don't offset the earnings. Though 1099's are issued, I doubt many will report their earnings or contribute to Soc. Sec.

    One would think that 6 people telling you how wrong you are would make you realize you are in the radical fringe.

    Those that can, do; those that can't, teach.

    Law is no different.

    Why? Because they teach your doctors, lawyers, engineers etc. Do you ask your surgeon how he voted before your operation? I'm assuming someone as obviously intelligent as you attended college; did you know what your teachers' political leanings were?

    What for?

    Right, so next time you have an issue that only a lawyer can address because of its legal complexity, you'll employ a plumber instead, because you despise lawyers so much?

    Opposition from 1100 liberal snowflakes is reason enough to applaud Sessions choice. Where's the problem?

    Swing and a miss.

    No, I'll hire a lawyer, not a law professor.

    Lemme explain it for ya... Liberal professors outnumber Conservative professors 3 to 1, kids are coming out of college with the mentality of a 10 year old and expecting you to hand them everything they want, or cry and scream and kick until they get it. That's not because of Conservatives.

    Professors??? Snicker.

    Obviously Liberals want just a few zip codes dictating who runs the country.

    Actually they all were, at least by comparison to the OP.

    No, it's not funny that one is more likely to find enemies of the Constitution in the legal profession than in any other.

    Not really, because lawyering is about getting the right people to approve of your argument, so the most prominent "doers" in the legal field are those who are best at baffling with BS.

    Tough. Trump has the nomination, and the entirely GOP Congress has the confirmation. Tim Kaine was even nice enough to offer the nuclear option.

    What a nice chap.

    See, I wanted you to pick the name so you didn't think I stacked the deck. I chose that one cause it was unusual and not likely to have to weed through false positives. Ok, now you pick a name and we will do it again. Oh... and you're welcome.

    Wickard was such an outrageous decision. Only a centralized authoritarian (*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*)(*) would approve of such law. I can't wait for it to die the death it deserves.

    Fair enough. A whole $525 though? Impressive.

    Activism AND $525 to Clinton. I have more for her...

    I think, overall, we can safely suggest that she is a political operative. Happy to do more...
