don't be silly

it'll get appealed and fought over and over until it's down to 600 million

they'll pay back 300 and we wont hear anything else about it for years until someone mentions Clarence Thomas getting a new 300 million dollar golden calf statue around the same time

Your crazy if you think Clarence is getting $300M. Studies have shown lobbying works for shocking little sums of money. Couple of first class tickets to a resort and a month there, easily under $30K.

my sentiment remains, even if the specifics are inaccurate
