Blame the Founding Fathers. It's the system they set up.

Oh horse****. Even YOU ought to know better, Lowther.

Ah. Then I presume you can show where the Supreme Court has smacked
down all the powers that Presidents have been using.

Even YOU ought to know better, Lowther.

Huh. And here I thought you had me killfiled. Who knew? A lawyer who
makes stuff up! Astonishing! What's next? A left-winger comparing Bush
to Hitler, perchance? Oh, what brave new world that we live in that has
such marvels in it!

Hard to do when the cases haven't (yet) gotten that far.

Even YOU ought to know better, Lowther.

You've got so many email addresses it's hard to keep up. Also, I tend
to use time-limited killfiles and I had one for this nym, it's been
awhile since you used it. But I can fix that in a hurry.

A lawyer who
makes stuff up! Astonishing!

More astonishing than a bigoted antisocial fool who spouts off **** on
the 'net because he's got nothing better to do or say, I think.

Ah. So, you can predict the Supreme Court's future, can you?

It's hard to keep up with *two?*

Just the two, dumbass. Maybe you should sue the school that you got
your miseducation in, if you think that "two" is a really big number.

And what makes it amusing is that by neglecting their congressional
duties in regard to the President's little Iraqi idea to save themselves
from having to vote about a war, the Republicans have neatly set
themselves up for destruction in a couple of weeks time.
I believe that George Bush is on a mission from God; it's just not the
one he thinks it is, and that's pretty hilarious.
If nothing else, Iraq might vaccinate the Republicans against doltish
military adventures, the way Vietnam did the Democrats.
That of course assumes that there isn't some "October surprise" coming
up, which I wouldn't entirely rule out given the White House's complete
disconnect from reality.
Here we find out that the North Korean nuclear test was a good thing,
surprisingly enough:

Maybe you should killfile one of them, and help to put him out of
our misery.

Yes, and we can go back to ignoring the world. Let Europe fall.

If Europe can't take care of itself, then Europe may well deserve to fall.
This isn't the first time the Moors have come knocking at Europe's gate,
and we can't be holding their hand forever. It's been over 60 years now,
and it's time for them to finally get their act together, and start
working like the alliance they claim to be rather than a bunch of
squabbling children trying to one-up each other to score national pride
points.
Just like the Iraqi government, they aren't going to start doing things
until they have to, and as long as we're around they don't have to.

I'm shocked. A post about politics from Pat with which I agree.
