A friend posted this on Facebook:
"We now have a Supreme Court Justice picked by a President that most Americans voted against, approved by a Senate in which low-population states have more votes that states with more people, and supported by a House in which districts are rigged to be virtually life-time appointments. This isn't a government. It's an occupying force."

Nope, it's not a government. It's a Koch-Mercer constructed political machine.
