Joe Biden Says He Would Rescind Exemption for Little Sisters of the Poor |

#3 ..the court upheld Trump's exemption under Obamacare. That which is once giveth may be taken away. (Unless Trump does it, then all prior precedent is invalid before lower court judges, thus the SCOTUS hearing). |

#1 Joe Biden is such a soft touch: "You girls should stand up... but not much. Say we're out on a date And you don't want to wait... No respectable gal would go Dutch!" |
