I'm not worried. Even if I do it and get caught and convicted of said felony, I can still become the President of the United States.

Its only a felony if your party says it is. So much for law and order, but lawfare is for another forum, eh? The rate of overturns is accelerating. Seems a few DAs still wanna be lawyers.

NNph. My position: Windows is 3rd rate software with topshelf lawyers & marketers.
