if I remember correct, you were much more concerned about hacking rules than the truth of DNC emails.

This is my last post on this thread, and it is not conceding, but rather trying to keep the thread on topic. So have at it....
For the record, you don't know what you are talking about concerning DNA.

You could be 1/8 Native American and have ZERO Native American DNA show up in a test.

You get half of your DNA from each parent but during the process of recombination the mix is seldom actually 50/50. It can vary greatly. My great grandfather (father's father's father) may be 100% Native American and I may not show any DNA from him.

I may have inherited 65% from my mother and only 35% from my father, my siblings may be the exact opposite, somewhere in between, or even more heavily slanted one way or the other.

Go back another generation and of my father's 35%, only 10% might have come from HIS father and the other 25% came from his mother.

Go back another generation and that 10% might be gone altogether.

I've seen actual cases just like this where one sibling shows Native American and the other does not show any whatsoever.

It is scary when we have the constitution in place saying just that.

For example, if police open a person's trunk without permission, a probable cause or a warranty, what he finds cannot be presented as evidence in court.

So do we care about the truth (what the police finds) or the rules (our constitution)?

Mitch McConnell couldn't stand her voice.

No disrespect intended for Mrs. King, but this is her opinion. She may be right or it may simply be her perspective on the subject.

We have had 2 AGs who ignored laws and chose not to enforce laws they disagreed with. It isn't up to an AG to simply not enforce the law. I consider Holder and Lynch 2 of the worst AGs in the last 30 years.
I think Sessions will be a good AG over all.

Another thing people keep missing is how Corey Booker ALREADY read this letter.

Do we need to have EVERY Dem Senator read that letter before we can confirm Jeff?

Can him too.

Just because one person breaks the rule, it's OK for EW to break the rule?

She was expelled becasue questioning someone's character, in a "debate" surrounding a man nominated for a job that should probably require character, was deemed wrong by the party that has the most to gain from silencing opposing views.

Mitch McConnell should be in jail right now. What he did was wrong. Period. If the (D) and (R) were reversed, you be pissing yourself right now. Don't even act like Warren did anything wrong.

Yes. That's just a sideline.

Hard to come here and see all the racial slurs and infantile insults on this forum over the years (including more than I care to try and count on this very thread) and not wanna dip my toes in the water.

Some people seem to think that if a person is critical of Trump the fraudulent whiny brat, that automatically makes that person a raging leftist Democrat fanatic about Obama and Clinton.

That is exemplary of simpleminded, binary thinking.

Trust me: I despise Clinton and have no love for the Democrats. They are also lying, corrupt, corporate sellouts.

But what's important right now is the unhinged corrupt lying corporate sellout occupying th White House at the present time.
