The NEW World Order moves on slowly with deliberate steps to give us what Germany had before WWll. I hope that the judge is wearing her body armor and pot helmet. The Govermnent is pissed at her for upholding the law of the land. We do not want to see another Judge Roll and Gabby Giffords conspiracy played out because of their constitutional beliefs. Peace
