Hahaha… good, good.

Yeah, you think?

We can’t clean up Washington without restoring integrity to the Supreme Court.

That’s why I believe we should expand the Supreme Court to 13 justices. And then, institute term limits.

Because an appointment to the Supreme Court shouldn’t mean a lifetime lack of accountability.

Picasso's depiction of a fascist massacre, a murdered family unceremoniously tangled together under a dining table.
