Now over to _________ with the news

NEWS INTRO

--------------------------

In today's news, Amy Coney Barrett has been confirmed to the US Supreme Court. President Trumps fellow republicans voted 52-48 to approve the judge. Her appointment seals for the foreseeable future a 6-3 conservative majority on the top US judicial body. Democrats fear Judge Barrett's confirmation to the lifelong post will favour Republicans in politically sensitive cases that reach America's top court for potentially decades to come. Some say that with the new appointing of a judge if Trump wins or loses, he already changed the world.

In life, you must always realize that some people are like slinkies.  They don’t really have a purpose but they certainly bring a smile to your face as they tumble down the stairs

I’m off like a dirty shirt,

Marzock 2020

P.S.  may the voting be forever in my favor
