Thomas Mitchell — Tue, 22 May 2012 14:27:20 +0000

(Thomas Mitchell/4TH ST8) With Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto it is not about the law or the constitution, it is all about liberal politics.

I have an overarching question. Why is it that I have to know [...]

Perhaps this is good news [...]
