30. Who said she's not a fine woman

She's a wonderful woman. Highly educated. Very cultured.

Are you suggesting she's been accused of a capital crime? Arrested under anti-sodomy laws (upheld by Scalia)? Or otherwise had to bear the consequences of what this man has done to actual people's lives?

She didn't have to go off to die as so many did, because of the result of Bush v. Gore.
