Who they haven’t talked to in years and left them at 19 (he’s now in his 30’s).
We blaming guardians now for how someone they raised for a few years turned out? We can go there with someone else’s son to if you want to. In fact, that very person said you can tell your success as a parent if you can realize your kids turned out better than you.
I did not say anything about what wealthy people should or should not do. They are perfectly free to fund amicus briefs in Supreme Court cases. What I was responding to was the claim that Crowe had not business before the court, which is demonstrably false.
Hmm tell us what group pays the bulk of the taxes? Bottom half pays 2.3 percent of Federal taxes. What does top 1% pay? I know I know now you will claim you were not talking about federal taxes.
Being pro or con and supportive thereof regarding a case before the Court is NOT the same as having business before the Court. If Crowe really wanted to influence Thomas’s vote, he would do so privately, not in an amicus brief.
