kinda hate that this speech will have to do in lieu of the Democratic party having a spine tho

WHAT HE SAY?

I can't remember a moment in which SCOTUS was ever put on the spot on national TV before.

is it my imagination or did Sotomayor look really really embarrassed?

dude, proclaiming that you're not watching the State of the Union + asking what he's saying do not mix!

Ruth Bader Ginsburg looks like a bubbie.

No, it's not. She did!

xxpost

..those sullen bastard supreme court justices.

ok ok it's just that i've got to parent atm

Can't wait to see a screengrab of SCOTUS

we watching real world over here

lobbyist-bashing is irritating. the truth is, there are lobbyists for all sorts of things including working on health care/housing for the poor and underprivileged, good environmental policy, etc., and those people can't get jobs in the administration despite the fact that they have expertise and are needed, because of this stupid talking point

and parenting and watching SOTU don't mix neither

btw Scalia and Thomas not there.

lol, specified "senators"

Isn't freezing the budget a good way to destroy the economy?

Citizens United.... [Daniel Foster]

Cut to: Chief Justice Roberts.

Awkward.

i sorta thought he was stopping at "none of these reforms will even happen"

dar1a otm lobbyists arent all bad

well, this part was awesome

So no, I will not give up on changing the tone of our politics. And that's why, effective immediately, I am dissolving both political parties and seizing power.

If Mitch McConnell were sitting next to the Supreme Court I would watch a video feed of just that, at this point.

Boy, he's giddy now, isn't he?

I love this running joke of "you fucking republican assholes"

Alito was all smh and mouthing 'no'. Kind of impressive for a scotus member to show he's a partisan douche.

btw who is delivering the republican response?

Jindal! Jindal! Jindal! Jindal!

via twitteronia: Sen McCain def said the words "complete bullshit" earlier

Yeah, not all lobbyists have nefarious goals - but having them on a database so the public can figure them out = good.

Why aren't my stories on?

best line: democrats have been falsely portrayed as weak on defense for too long. that is why, tonight, i am authorizing immediate icbm strikes on north korea and turkey

there are lobbyist databases in CA!

oh i'm all for transparency, just PO'ed on behalf of a friend of mine who lobbied.. for poor people, and now has to deal with this stupid waiting period before trying to get hired by the administration

"I heard from a film critic, Dr. Morbius, a wry gay man literally rotting with hatred for our party system. This. I cannot. accept."

Why aren't my stories on?

Just go back to sleep, granddad.

Since the day I took office, all I keep hearing is that the next Joanna Newsom album is going to be awesome. We have made substantial investments in indie music but frankly I can't get into all the elf stuff. We have prohibited torture. I am hereby issuing an executive order prohibiting the release of Have One On Me.

lol!

j0hn, there is serious lulz over here

Michelle and Jill!

lol & Franken flanked by a posse of high-ranking military personnel.

and chicks

Best state of the union address during my lifetime ever

u guys, he announced a spending freeze. this is a freaking horror

he's following the lead of john f kennedy and ronald reagan

I am dying here, and if this was real Obama would be the greatest president of all time.

man i hope he doesn't do that at all that part is always so gross

Other than "projecting" aggression, I don't know how this address will motivate the Senate. It's a damn pep rally cuz it's an election year.

Reagan started the Important American section of the SOTU btw.

Are you 8 years old?
