Grassley says Obama is attempting to "pack" the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/28/obama-court-packing_n_3347961.html

snip:

But not only is Obama not "court-packing" -- a term describing an attempt to add judges to a court with the goal of shifting the balance, not filling existing vacancies...

Filling existing vacancies. Not adding seats to the court.

In other news, Senator Grassley stated putting eight hot dog buns in a package was packing the wrapper.

Virginia wants to track miscarriages

http://crooksandliars.com/susie-madrak/virginia-wingnuts-who-want-miscarriag

snip:

If a woman in Virginia has a miscarriage without a doctor present, they must report it within 24 hours to the police or risk going to jail for a full year. At least, that’s what would have happened if a bill introduced by Virginia state Sen. Mark Obenshain (R) had become law

Looks like more female outreach by the Rethugs. What a bunch of flaming asshats.

Rancid Paul bloviating about secret memo, wait maybe, no memo

http://livewire.talkingpointsmemo.com/entry/rand-paul-claims-damning-irs-memo-exists

snip:

When CNN anchor Candy Crowley pressed Paul for details, the junior Kentucky senator revealed that he had only heard about the memo.

In related news, I have heard that Paul is a low-life, scumbag dedicated to de-funding the government and enriching the already rich. No memo needed.
