That does not mean that with enough arch-Conservative judges that won't change. Even if it does however, even if we sink down to the level of tin-pot dictatorships and pure plutocracies - even then, it will still be internationally recognized, as the Wikipedia article - not Raven - so eloquently points out.<br /><br />Have a good day.Reynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05052894956076815680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-31234811318872410612015-09-09T17:32:04.428-05:002015-09-09T17:32:04.428-05:00The courts don't agree with you Raven.The courts don't agree with you Raven.jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15712840579983399351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5888314760091661875.post-87642057191992707962015-09-09T07:27:13.941-05:002015-09-09T07:27:13.941-05:00Someone needs to expose the fact that he "all...Someone needs to expose the fact that he "allegedly" was "invited" to leave Marquette. It "allegedly" was a result of him plagiarizing. This "rumor" comes from two professors that I know that were teaching at Marquette at the time of Walker's attendance. <br /><br />Credible??? I think with his history it's probably true. This guy has not had an original thought as long as he has been on the public stage. Heck, he and his legislature cannot even write a law without copying and pasting from the ALEC playbook, which often is not in compliance with the WI Constitution.
