the problem they need to grapple with is is this a nation of laws or of men.

Do they even care about the law. Not when it comes to women; how about when it comes to trump. I can't even think of all the ways to describe trump.

Will their ass backward ideologies send the US off a cliff or not? Thomas should be recused but that won't happen; even if his wife was a fucking defendant he wouldn't as he has proven he is not an ethical person.

personally i'm scared shitless about this and it's a bad, bad feeling.
