Oh for fucks sake! Can SCOTUS have held up a greater modern single example of inequality in this nation?

Of course they did! (Rolls eyes).
Now, Iād love to see this asshat skip town ā give them another black eye. This is so painfully obvious, SCOTUS ā did you give McDonnell a napkin so he can wipe his chin now?

Iām so sick of these entitled buffoons getting away scot free. This man deserves consequences. Just because he was in the military, so he served his country, doesnāt mean he doesnāt deserve to do time for his corrupt practices. Heās blamed it on his wife and a bunch of other weak excuses. He needs to go to jail. We need our corrupt politicians to do time; itās essential to the health of our democracy.

The problem is, theyāll drag it out so long that heāll never actually see a day behind bars. I think heās hoping that if heās lucky enough to go before the SCOTUS, even if he loses, theyāll still give him ātime servedā.

Whatās the point? SCOTUS cannot cut this guy loose. Heāll have to do the time so he might as well get on with it. He was perfectly comfortable signing a death warrant for a mentally diminished woman:
āā"āMcDonnell declined to commute the death sentence to life imprisonment in the case of Teresa Lewis, who was executed on September 23, 2010. She was the first woman executed in Virginia since 1912. Calls had been made for leniency, citing her below average mental capacityā""" from Wiki
Seems he can dish it out but cannot take it. But you know it just dawned on meā¦that women had her death sealed by a man that was at the time doing things that would disqualify him for office.

Looks like heās angling for a shock release from livingā¦
African-American Bob McDonnell is about one third of the way through his prison sentence in the time White Bob McDonnell sat at home in his Barca Lounger on appeal.

Heāll never serve a day in jail. Mark it. Heās in the club. If he was black and had shoplifted a Snickers bar heād rot for a month in the slammer just awaiting an initial bail hearing.

A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once
With two border walls coming in the near future and oceans on our east/west coasts, maybe the Supreme Court considers the US a defacto prison? (especially under Republican leadership).
You can count on conservatives looking out for their own. Conservatives are fiercely loyal to each other. Scalia stepped in to anoint Bush. Now Roberts steps in for Governor Forced Vaginal Probing without Consent.
I am sure that RATS will say that bribery, insider trading, price fixing and money laundering are free speech especially when religulous conservatives or corporations do it.
