In my 19 briefs in the Supreme Court so far

Please provide links to these briefs, I would like to see what you argued on and just how far you pushed the envelope

In Bush v. Gore, I was the ONLY lawyer to urge the Court to "strike" the Florida decision, and "do nothing else." And that's what the Court did, unanimously, in Round I.

Again, not doubting you but I would like to read your argument on this case to see how you came to this conclusion. Bush v Gore was a special case as an election of a federal official was at stake. Therefore, the Supreme Court had every jurisdiction to review a state decision.

However, and this is a big however, I do have an instinct for what cannot possibly be accomplished at a given time in a given case.

Oh good, we'll just keep down the same path then shall we? Lord knows how well it's worked for the past 100 years. Why, we're rolling conservatism back decades, ooops I mean rolling back government waste, power, and expenditure back decades.

It undercuts all of one's arguments to make one clearly foolish argument.

Oh, so Hamilton and Madison were foolish while Blackmun, a truly activist judge was not. Glad we got that straightened out.

I do not think I will consult with you before filing my 20th brief in the Court.

Hey as I said, I would be interested to read the other 19 to see how and what you argue. Centralization of government power isn't that much of an argument for forwarding conservatism though.

To charge in like a bull in a China shop is NOT a productive approach to any challenge in life.

Well somebody needs to start charging something there. Because the pattering around of little Republican feet hasn't done much of squat in my view.

We have tangled before, and as usual it is a dysfunctional experience. In exactly two of its cases, the Supreme Court has chosen to make available through its own website all of the briefs filed in the case. As it so happens, I filed briefs in both of those, which were Bush v. Gore, and McConnell v, FEC.

If you want to review my work, feel free to go to the official SCOTUS website and read those briefs. I filed both on behalf of the American Civil Rights Union, whose Board of Advisors includes Judge Robert Bork and General Ed Meese, among others.

Once you have spent more time doing your homework than time spent sniping at me, feel free to report back. Until then, I reject all your objections as coming from someone who knows far less about constitutional law than he thinks. Are you a lawyer? If you are, you must have slept through your course in Constitutional Law.
