** Great, the economy is busy in a freefall to the center of the earth and citizens fleeced of their life's savings because of pathetically criminal congressional and presidential oversight, and these yazoos ****er around for years over some dead fighter who drew the color line.

Won't hear a peep about anyone promoting presidential pardons of Luis Firpo or Frank Lloyd Wright, but of whom were prosecuted under the same law which is still on the books today.

If it don't win votes, forget about it, that's the cardinal law of politicians.
