That is the appeals court that has steadily held up Trump's efforts to change the rules on visitors from afar and from majority-Muslim countries.<br /><br />His book, "Contraception: A History of Its Treatment by the Catholic Theologians and Canonists," flew off the shelves when it was published (sixties???).

But we probably won't get any in the future, thanks to Addison Mitchell McConnell, with an assist from Harry Reid.tom blackburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09617525711233538704noreply@blogger.com
