i didn t have to grit my teeth and do a diet. golo s a lifestyle change and you make the change and it stays off. golo s changed my life in so many ways. i sleep better, i eat better. took my shirt off for the first time in 25 years. it s golo. it s all golo. it s smarter, it s better, it will change your life forever. todd: a journalist posting and deleted a tweet in which he apeers to fantasize about the death of supreme court justice samuel alito. justice samuel alito who died on, no date, justice samuel alito was one of the leading advocates embraced a role while he was a sitting justice. joe concha, fox news
the problem is the justice alito was one of the republican party s leading advocates but embraced the role while he was a sitting justice. conservatives on twitter fired back. one wrote men will pre-write obituaries instead of going to therapy. another, i m so sorry your life is so sad. richard, what do you say in response to that? one, i think everybody should go to therapy if they can. number two, on molly s point i wonder, you know, i think it is hard to say the president s executive orders are radical when we know they are limited in nature. number one limited and number two codify what is already in federal law passed by congress. after yesterday s decision by the voters in kansas, which affirms the right for a woman to have reproductive health. i do believe that the country is moving in one direction and
