I only wish repukes here would stop waisting money doing "symbolic" things like reading the parts of the constitution they like, and voting to throw down laws that they no won't pass.

We have criminals doing whatever they like and there is nothing we can do about it. It is up to you to bring justice to the international war criminals hiding in America.
