He broke a long standing taboo by criticizing the SCOTUS during his state of the union address a few years ago because of the court's ruling on campaign contributions that gave enormous power to corporations. That was quite a "peep."

Yeah, he got a good one in there for civility

Well-founded criticism isn't uncivil. That bozo congressman shouting out "you lie" during the address was uncivil.

Nice pivot, though. You play football?

You say it's well founded. But because of 'you lie', we'll call it even

I did occasionally long ago, never on a team, but locally for fun. The thought of it now makes my back hurt :sigh:
