No - I am saying that, unlike St. Bernard, I am a member, not a hijacker.

Itās remarkable the way that if the left doesnāt like someoneās opinion, rather than engaging on an intellectual level they go after them personally, make up nonsense conspiracy theories, cast aspersions on them because theyāre foreign (despite no doubt having a profound ignorance about their home country). Itās really turning into an intolerant nasty party.
On April 28, 2003, President George W. Bush nominated Conrad to become a United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia. āI felt like I had done just about all I could do with the responsibilities I had,ā Conrad told the Roanoke Times.[1]
āIāve always wanted to endanger innocent peopleā he continued.

You meant the hoosegow and not the car for a train crew.
In any event it would be most gratifying to see.
Ever note how when these jerks get arrested they all become civil libertarians, invoke all rights related to criminal prosecution? Good for me, not for you.

Yes youāre right. And Trump himself used āpaddy wagon.ā For some reason, I had it in my head heād used caboose. Oops.
Our media gave him a free pass. Boy did they ever.

Being a foreigner, you may not be aware, but with Citizens United money became a lot more important and self perpetuating for those who have the wherewithal to buy power and influence. This is very probably the single most disastrous and wrongheaded decision our judicial system has made in the last 50 years.
Perhaps- although itās worth noting that Clinton spent far more than Trump and still lost; money isnāt everything.
The saddest thing about the US judiciary is the way judges appear to have party political allegiances. It is simply considered irrelevant in the UK or most other western countries.
And ya know, we speak of āunintended consequences,ā but Iām certain that those who engineered this through the SCOTUS knew damn well that it would cry havoc with those without the money to buy races. They knew what it would buy them merely by extrapolating from ante-Citizens and the secret monies lavished on Goopers. .

A data-driven academic friend of mine pointed out how that chart coincides with the rise of the MBA culture in the 70s. People became little green pixels on computer monitors. I myself was a victim of the āasset managersā of the early 1980s. One of my employers had to call back several employees and pay the as consultants because they didnāt have anyone on the payroll to do what they were doing.
