Great photo. Way to capture the excitement. l like how the other Justices are visible. Ginsburg is so little, and yet, so big.

Can't the whitehouse hire a competent photographer. This shot is so technically bad it's pathetic. Unbalanced composition, uneven insufficient lighting, obscured subjects, background items bisecting foreground elements. This shot is crap.

It is obvious the only thing that matters to this photographer is to have BHO in the middle of the frame.

Go Sonia! Regardless of people's hate, her record speaks for itself.

People need to have a "give trolls a hug" day. They don't get enough love as evidenced by their entire identity being based on pure hatred. Not a single photo they have taken themselves in their stream. I thought Flickr was for photographers?

natsncats says:

Your observation is spot on...and not only do they not have original photostreams, they don't even have an original thought in their brain -- they get their marching orders from Fox Noise and the like, and spew them all over these threads!
