According to police a 53 yeertd man selling metro card swipes for one dollar a piece at the 116th street stop when a woman tried to buy a swipe an argue ensued thats when a relative, man believed to be her father stepped in and things escalated.

High test court yesterday republicans are saying theyre not even going to meet with them. Robert mosess. An important distinction to make here. Republicans are are not opposed to merritt garland per se but proposed to the idea of him. Gop would be dug in president had nominated santa claus. They feel the next president , not current should fill ant anyone scalias seat. Garland scheduled to meet with top include senators. President obama announced in a rose garden ceremony. At a time when our politics are so polarized this is precisely the time when we should play it straight and pointing of Supreme Court justice with the seriousness and care it deserves. Garland born and raided in illinois has served as chief appeals for d. C. Sir circuit and overcome with e motion.

Kennedy confirmed but nominated prior to the start of the election in will republicans reverse course and say maybe what well swallow our medicine on this one for fear of who a president hillary cainton would nominate.
