Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the Trump . -Thomas Paine

I like my version better

Yeah, but you don't have any standing so it doesn't matter if anybody broke the law. They might have broken the law, but they haven't injured you, so... Run along, little Texas.

I used to carry "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine with me in my backpack when I was going to college. My US History professor was talking about it one day and I pulled it out and held it out to him. He was impressed. "You learn anything from it?" Of course I had, but I tend to go for levity. I said "I haven't. Too many big words."

This was right after Benghazi happened, and Rice was on TV that evening telling everybody it was an anti-muslim video on the internet that made all those people that don't use the internet really mad.
