    It really is funny just how many of the supreme court justices seem to be married to someone who could very easily be the one actually calling the shots and just latched onto someone with the credentials to effect the agenda.

      This is one of my pet peeve misspellings, so I apologize but I can’t help myself. It’s impossible to “effect” anything as it’s only ever a noun. Effects are the result of someone affecting something. For instance, someone can affect a justice, the effect being that they hold sway over the daily lives of many Americans despite the absence of credentials.

      I don’t believe any of their spouses set out to do so when they married them but they certainly do so to the detriment of humanity at large, and that’s bad enough.
