(22,883 posts)31. Clearly the judge is a partisan hack. Plus...

One of my links is PBS. The other was just the local Fox affiliate. So, I will provide non-Fox articles.

It's a real group. They've been around since 1932. They even have their own flag. See Brian Lightfoot's handle below.

I'm not an expert are you? If you are convinced it doesn't exist, prove that it doesn't exist!

The federal judge's strong words - and clear political bent - are as unusual as they are uninformed, legal experts told
