According to the absolutely ignorant H. Reid,
“the Democrats need Goodwin Liu on the federal bench because “the court of appeals is where law is made, and we need the finest minds in the world for that.””
Funny, I thought it was their job to interpret/enforce the law.
I guess Congress has given up this Constitutional requirement, and handed it over to the courts. Perhaps Congress (H. Reid) has their hands full just trying to ‘Redistribute my Wealth’.
What a moron. One of only Constitutional reasons for having H. Reid, and he wants to give it away.
Perhaps we can, based on this new ‘redistribution’ of Congressional jobs, now get rid of H. Reid. That sounds nice.

Sorry to be curt, It’s 7:30 in the morning and I’m fairly drunk, seeing as how I’m about to go rummage through the remains of my burnt down house for anything that survived.
