22,000,000

We only recently passed the 21,000,000 mark last April but we just hit 22,000,000 today, according to WordPress. Congratulations everyone. This has been a banner year for the site with a continuing increase in traffic, links on other sites, and new voices on the blog. These milestones are coming faster and they give us a chance to look at the spread of our regular readers and commentators. As always, I want to offer special thanks for our weekend contributors: Mark Esposito, Eliane Magliaro, Mike Appleton, Larry Rafferty, Charlton Stanley, Darren Smith, and Kimberly Deines. The increasing traffic on the site is gratifying and reaffirms that there are many people looking for mature and civil debate. Even among the top ten sites, I believe that we offer a unique forum of different views and backgrounds in the discussion of law and politics (and a few quirky items).

  1. Paul;

    Thank you for your candor.

    I appreciate your offer to do a kickstarter;
    but I’ve learned people simply don’t care

    when you tell your own (sad) tale.

  2. Paul;

    My academic credentials are what I’ve done with what I know.

    As for you, the making of my case for me (by your remark of my status as a victim); demonstrates how damnation bent you are concerning the facts! One would be hard pressed, in the extreme, to find a victim equal to what we’ve endured (who is still breathing).

    There’s only 200 plus articles out there are the cases;
    and my battling Romney, Bain and Goldman Sachs for 12 years.
    http://www.politicususa.com/2012/11/23/meet-man-battling-romney-bains-bankruptcy-fraud-12-years.html

    I’ve had reporters and even Asst. US Attorneys who have opened up their home and wallets to help ease my suffering. Whereas you, open up only your words of condescending/ad hominem. You would side with the assaulting parties upon what is good for all, for the sake of what you believe is the law of G-d.

    The one and same G-d who provided freedom of choice that you seek to arbitrarily and capriciously wash away!

    1. Laser – my apologies. You changed your handle so I did not recognize you. If you remember, I told you I would contribute to a kickstarter for your suit.

  3. Thanks AY;

    We are getting to the end of my battle. A crossroads where the 9th Circuit dangles the fate of the many cases in their hand. All they have to do is simply permit the case to go forward and re-affirm the scheduling order.

    Of course, if they do permit the case its proper just due; then my adversaries will wish me a swifter end. (As they can never permit the case to go to trial).

    I’m meeting with people in D.C. – in the coming weeks;

    who have great anxiety about the state of affairs in our fed system of justice.

    Thanks – again – Much!

  4. Laser,

    As you can note of late I have not been commenting. I see you are the latest victim of the taunts. It’s unfortunate, I scan through the comments and see whom I wish to read. Yours, Annie’s and others are a good reflection of my thinking.

    Keep the ship afloat, and watch the starboard green lights…..

  6. Yes, we are speaking 2 different languages.

    I’ve shut down 3 law firms, helped get 26 people convicted, gave the msm the facts to prong the pathway for Mitt not to become POTUS and even made the Deputy Director of the DOJ EOUST resign.

    Your language is that of haughty autocrats oppressive;
    and mine is of a victim thereof severally pee’d off!

    1. Laser Haas – I asked for your academic credentials, since you were asking for mine, not your apparent ability to destroy things and people. BTW, you hardly sound like a victim.

  7. One is unable to rebut the ad hominem oppressive by seeking reason/logic.

    When you can cite the statute that makes my linking some – a dependency; and/or your PHD in Supreme Court issues that would make you more of a scholar than a federal justice like His Honor Kopf.

    Then we can banter pf rebuttal.

    1. Laser Haas – no one on here is required to have a J.D. or Ph.D.. Personally, I have an M.A., but others on here have B. A. s and some less than that. Please rebut my facts. BTW, what are your credentials? I get the feeling you are writing in a different language and then translating it into English.

  8. 1st of all – he ain’t “your judge” (my); as he sits not upon any of my cases..

    Your legal prowess and facts foundation has never been true to form.

    Finally, I commend any judge who would question the questionable. (Especially one who powerpoints the absurdity with a “stfu” quote). As the problem with decorum and requisite civility is most often touted by those parties nefarious!

    1. Laser Haas – is English your first language? I only ask because you write like someone from the late 19th century. BTW, he is your judge because you linked him. If you have problems with my facts, rebut them.

    1. Laser Haas – your judge suggests the court dodge the issue by refusing to take it. However, refusing to take the case is a decision of its own. The ruling of the lower court stands. You only need 4 judges to decide to take a case and it could have been the 4 who voted against it who decided to take it. Personally, I am a little concerned about how much your judge knows about the Supreme Court. đŸ™‚

  11. I’m encouraged that there are straws upon the autocratic beast’s back;
    which seems to be emboldening others to stand up against the fray.

    A federal justice (His Honor Richard G Kopf) is upon his personal blog openly quoting “stfu” to the SCOTUS inane decision of the Hobby Lobby case.

    Another Richard (Washington State Supreme Court Justice Richard B. Sanders) yelled out the word “tyrant” thrice to then USAG Mukasey at a federalist dinner in D.C.

    The reason these bold public stands are necessary;
    is because We the People are lax.

    KUDOs to those who risk much against usurping despotism!

  12. Laser, I’d rather sidle up next to the guys (or gals) I admire more.

  15. Darren,
    I have been watching that article as well. It was published in May 2010, and as of this writing, has garnered 160,013 hits.

    I am thinking that some physics prof has been making it a class assignment. Either that or a theology professor. Maybe both.

  16. Congratulations everyone.

    What surprises me is how much traction the “Hell, exothermic or endothermic” article received over the last few months.
