#1 Why so many people think a bunch of lawyers are the best qualified professionals to answer profound moral questions is beyond me.

Or me.

#2 When you understand that an underlying reason that the Dems don't support democracy in Iraq is because they don't support democracy in America, it starts to make sense. During the heady days of the 60s, 70s, and 80s, the pushers and makers of the party knew they couldn't get their agendas through the house of the people, so they empowered the judiciary to do their dirty work. That is why they are so disparate to hang on to their last vestage of power in the courts which they have manifested in to the modern aristocracy of America. Above the people, unaccountable, and slavishly obeyed. For all the anger and outrage for many decrees, has one, one judge ever been removed from office for his expansion of power and authority over our lives, our communities, our states? Congress is a coward. You don't need Constitutional admendments, you just toss the cretin and put someone else in who is capable of actually reading the Constitution. There is no balance of powers. This is why the great show plays before us. It demonstates that Congress has failed to do its business, but don't worry, they'll pass regulations on water flow through your bath. They'll declare March 13th "Wear a Green Shirt to Work Day" for the green dye lobby. If Congress isn't going to do its work, maybe we should. Time for these Princes, Barons, and Dukes to be subject to the direct consent of the governed. Move the circus out of the Senate and back to the population where it belongs. Let us vote!

#3 My man Ted was actually talking about Judge "Alioto". So he must've meant someone else. Or he was drunk.
