He gave Mr. Guttenberg. If he cannot shake the hand of that man, he does NOT deserve to be nominated to the highest court in the country.

Call your MoC and tell them not to confirm. This man is in trmp's pocket. He WILL end Roe v. Wade. He WILL roll back protections for people of color, women, LGTB and Muslims. He WILL give corporations everything they want. He WILL help end Medicare and Social Security. He WILL engage in laws that promote voter suppression.

We simply cannot allow this man's WILL to prevail.

I remember she brought Willow and Piper to a Philadelphia Flyers game where she'd heard they planned to boo her.

"What I thought I'd do is I'd put Piper in a Flyers jersey, bring her out with me," she said at a local fundraiser prior to the game. "How dare they boo Piper!" https://www.salon.com/2008/10/17/trig_time/
