Are those really pigs I see flying by my window?

[kiryandil]

The unanimous three-judge panel included one Clinton appointee and two by Obama.

And the original district judge was a Carter judge.

[kiryandil]

Thank you for that beautiful post.

This must have been cut and dried.

The bases for the appeal were extremely thin, in the face of an absolutely clear statute.

This court just got tired of being reversed.
