POETIC JUSTICE FOR SUPREME COURT STALL: GOP loses Senate & White House

That would be the ultimate karma for eight years of obstructing Obama and for that matter, ten years of talking about Bill Clinton's penis.

After 20 years of smears and insults, she will not treat imbecilic bullies with kid gloves.
