senate and the presidency..we have a court that will find it unconstitutional...Sen.

I guess we can say that after those remarks assuming they are accurate, he isn't running for president.

The main concern of Americans is no longer Millionaires and Billionaires but brown kid torn from their parents and the threat of legalized misogyny.

Got some catching up to do.
