Yes, sometimes laws are overturned by the courts. But it is pretty serious charge to say they did it because a political party prevailed on them to do so. If you think you have evidence that has ever happened, it should be trivial to have the judges in question impeached. Since that rarely happens, I’m guessing you’ve got nothing.

So have you read it? Is there something in it you don’t like?

This is the worst book club ever, we might as well talk about Kite Runner, at least there is a movie we can watch.

I saw _The Kite Runner_ on cable a few months ago. I very much enjoyed it.

We have had numerous debates on the HCR bill and this thread has failed to become another one.

Closed.
