WT69 and his fascist cohorts are against this and , in fact do not even understand they are fascists (or maybe they do).
I am too busy to indulge in this dialog so further comments will be ignored.
BTW, Trump couldn't fire me as I would never work for him.

No matter how bad Trump is could he really be worse that the last 16 years?
Perhaps it's time for a total outsider, if for no other reason than the political elite on both sides are scared of him.
Some of the same scare tactics now being used against Trump were used against FDR and Reagan, yet they become two of our most revered presidents.

Posts: 2700Poll
I wanted to make a poll, but I can not find the link to it, or did Jackson delete it?
The Poll is "How Many Of You Want Donald Trump Making All Your Life's Decisions for You As President?".

Until then we will continue to elect people such as Obama, Trump, Clinton and Sanders.
Now if I were suddenly to become President, how could I implement the necessary changes?
Look what happened with the Contract with America, which was mild compared with what needs to be done.
In the meantime I will continue to promote Obectivism in the schools, where it will do some good.

In some circles, that would be called blackmail but then he is a hero to the loony left.
One of those cases was Helvering v Davis in which Cardoza 's opinion found the Social security Act to be Constitutional as it was actuarially sound.
It wasn't and what does that have to do with it anyway?

It depends on who is doing the nominating and who is doing the confirming.

Segue; that always made me scratch my head when neo-cons would talk about "liberal law making" judges.
To be fair and balanced, this administration should try and send up an appointee that is a strict constructionist to replace the strict constructionist that left. A friend of ours says that the court is best when it is a mix of conservative and progressive judges, I agree with that sentiment. I personally think the court should lean towards real, not neo conservatism.
