Has a Call to Duty ever interrupted your down time, a social event, a liberty period? And what did you do? You answered that call. Why? You had to but also Because you aren’t a dumbass, cowardly, anti freedom jerk like Sammy the whining rat Alito. I commend the seven god guys and gals on the USSC for freaking doing the right thing. Doing the Right things don’t have office hours sammy.

As an aside, ya ever notice there are four women on the Supreme Court. Doing the right thing consistently. Our three LIBERAL Angels With a welcome assist from Judge Amy Coney Barrett. Thank You Justice Barrett. Damn it to Hell let’s put a woman in the White House.

I still cheer my wonderful Governor Laura Kelly. She’s wrestled republicans to the mat for years. Sadly she’s term limited.
