I’ve never been a fan of packing the Supreme Court, but they are so corrupt, term limits won’t do the job. We have to make the 3 Stooges irrelevant by adding three more when we have a chance.

Here in the Chicago area, the news coverage about him is pretty widespread. I agree that he seems to be areally decent, caring man, but I don’t know about woke. They are reporting that when he lived here, he voted in the Republican primaries.

We grew up in the same neighborhood about 3 miles apart. Went to the same church. It’s a very much lower middle class area in the south suburbs of Chicago. He seems very much a product of this environment and really a common man who made good.
