The Failed Presidency.

Well, I'd tend to agree about Roe. And certainly about the standing of federal law. I'm getting a real bean up my schnozz about the federal government accruing power. Roe was sloppy, well-intentioned, a mirror of the times.

I think this is an area (federal overreaching) in which conservatives and liberals could find common ground, if they could just keep their knees from jerking.

I have decided that we are all either too brilliant or too stupid to ever agree on anything, so let's drink.

You say that like its a bad thing!

I gotta say it seems to me we all take ourselves, and each other, way too seriously sometimes

"When the security of this nation is threatened, Congress and the American people give the president great latitude. We probably have given this president more flexibility, more latitude, more range, unquestioned, than any president since FDR -- probably too much. Congress, in my opinion, really abrogated much of its responsibility."

"The arrogance of Republicans on Capitol Hill is finally starting to catch up with them...This is happening partly because moderate, and even conservative, Republicans are increasingly standing up to President Bush. Why now, you ask? Because of both their own approaching elections and Bush's falling poll numbers. Republicans are realizing that what plays well in Washington might not be popular back home...

we're in trouble. Much more serious trouble than discussions in A2K want to deal with... so far.
