(34,117 posts)to me that means we don't criticize anyone for using whatever they feel like carrying their stuff in (as long as text/labels/etc are not racist, vulgar, etc.)
Which, AFAIC makes the criticism (not the issue) partisan.

(25,988 posts)To a hearing this important, likely being viewed the world over? Emphatic no. Castor has been a lawyer long enough to have at least one heavy duty documents briefcase. He should use it. Showing up with grocery bag was tacky, if not intentionally insulting to the process.

(25,988 posts)Ya noticed it's taking me a while to unwind from the day, huh? Time for a break from politics for the day - a grocery bag is a small thing, but just another one of the billion pebbles tossed by the cretins, ya know?
Thanks for the laugh!
