My parents are celebrating their 72nd wedding anniversary tomorrow. They were married May 29, 1949 and they are the most loving, devoted, parents and creators of good things for the community and the country ever. If you send greetings with a reply, I'll share it with them.

Please help me gather birthday wishes for my dad, who turns 96 on 1/17. WWII vet, JFK's FCC Chair (his criticism of television led Gilligan's Island creator S. Schwartz to name the SS Minnow after him as an insult), co-founder of PBS and the Presidential debates, world's best dad

I worked for her briefly at EPA. Imperious and arrogant.
A reminder that Neil Gorsuch’s mom was Reagan’s EPA Administrator and had to resign in disgrace. She was the first agency director in history to be cited for contempt of congress.
During her tenure she slashed the EPA budget and let pollution run rampant.

A racist insult does not make your claim (I won't dignify it by calling it an argument) any more supportable. It just makes you look shrill and desperate. If your originalist pals were consistent, they would admit it applies only to muskets and militias.
