Pure undulated crap not relevant to the point raised. I expect better from you Mark.

Leaks ARE a purposeful tactic. In a LOT of cases the tactic seems to be to
attack Democrats.

Then again you seem to think that such statements like " the ones that
the Dems don't believe exist." are true.  Seems a lot of those
Democrats have actually served in the Military. I'd say they know more
about enemies ( and fighting them) than those who avoided such things. Just
because the current Republican Party leadership seems to feel that the
Democrats are the enemy does not means the Democrats feel the same. You
should try and not project Mark.

Of course if you want to talk about Alito we could but that seems to be
outside the current thread. Another attempt to mislead perhaps ?
