We must battle ferociously against those who would turn the Supreme Court into a house of injustice for a generation.

Class trumps all, 'progressive' means nothing, nothing at all. Soros will not save us, he and those like him are a big part of the problem, they make pretty noises but will not relinquish a microgram of their privilidge.
