Eisboch Why stop there, man. DEANS! I am holding out for SCOTUS justice ;-) I'd gladly endorse you to replace Clarence Thomas. Being pro choice myself and not a sex harasser, I suppose you would. I would certainly drag the court to the left a bit in personal freedoms but you might not like my 2d amendment and 9/10th amendment views. I would certainly narrow a lot of the views about what the 14th amendment means. It is currently being used to expand federal powers over the states in issues that have nothing to do with protecting rights. (unless you think people have the "right" to go to federal prison for medical marijuana) So, you would interpret the Constitution? Wow. That's quite a statement! That is what the SCOTUS does. We have a constitution that will fit in a shirt pocket and federal laws that would not fit in the bed of a pickup truck. It is clear we need some kind of interpretation. No statism in simplicity or common sense. We elect lawyers and they love complexity for profit. Really? Like GWB? Like GHWB? Or WJCB and BHOB ? This is the 4th Bush in a row. As sad as it is, most politicians are lawyers. I'm surprised you didn't mention Nixon Umm... Nixon was a lawyer. I was talking about non-lawyers as a rebuttal to the moron's assertion about us electing lawyers. I guess he and you forgot about the terrible job some non-lawyers have done. Clinton and Obama are not Bush. Not sure what sort of rhetorical argument you're making. |

Truman and Eisenhower did OK I bet you even like LBJ and Carter It depends on your definition of like. I liked what LBJ did socially. He implemented through force of will what Kennedy proposed. Carter was a decent guy, but had domestic economic problems that were not his own making. Clinton and Obama are not Bush. Not sure what sort of rhetorical argument you're making. I certainly have not seen any huge policy shifts in the last 23 years. It just keeps getting worse. Again, it depends on the definition of policy shift. Clinton did more economically and socially. Reagan, while certainly implemented some things, also did some terrible things and some mediocre things. GHWB wasn't a bad president, at least compared to his son. Nixon was a crook, but didn't let that get in the way of practicality. Obama is struggling, most esp. with the right wing crazies who want to end the Fed, bust unions, and don't give a damn about the environment, not to mention kill anyone who doesn't agree with them, unlike what Jesus would do, even though they always talk about him. |
