Judges represent the childrens future, but the SS plan has nothing to do with our childrens future. Your not making sense.They both are. No..my point is that Bush's relatively meager SS plan was poorly marketed and sold from the get-go. All the massive time and traveling across the land he spent on that and pushing the bankruptcy bill, he could have made enormous headway slamming the fillibuster issues down the RATs throats nationally, humiliating them over Janice Brown's sharecropper ancestry, and destroying their Senate insurgency.
What is Clinton's legacy? Two bills...Family/Medical leave (yawn) and Assault Weapons Ban (now extinct). Nothing else of substance was his (welfare reform was 100% Gingrich, after 3 Clinton vetoes). BUT Clinton put on the bench more judges than Reagan. THAT is a legacy we and our children are and will have to live with for a long time, in the form of outrageous "living document" ACLU leftists on courts across the land working hard every day to undermine our nations and its values.
Now Bush's SS plan is DOA, and he has 1/3 the amount of judges benched as Clinton did atthe same point in his administration. THIS is Bush's legacy, and it should have been Job #1 after the last election, not fourth fiddle to SS, Bankruptcy, and Alien Amnesty.
Am I making sense to you now?
Oh so your saying he should be working hard to appoint judges because that is the easy way to get some wins.
Yea Clinton's legacy was Judges, but what others like Roosevelt, his legacy was legislation that he pushed hard for called "The New Deal"
Or what about Lincoln? His legacy was also legislation called the Emancipation Proclamation.
Historically Presidents have left their legacy in the form of legislation that was intended to improve live for the citizens (I say intended because I have some real issues with portions of the New Deal, but I won't go into that here) not by fill court seats.
Just because one piss poor president made a legacy for himself in the name of federal judges and not by accomplishing real legislation doesn't mean that every president should focus on nothing more than the court system, that would be a bad move for America.
SS is a real problem that should be addressed, Bush has a good plan that would fix a large amount of the problems with it, but because he is Bush the democrats and the media are committed to defeating it. Bankruptcy reform was also something that was needed, the system is being grossly abused and the reform package will have positive results.
A president should focus on accomplishing real legislation not focusing on the court system. And I voted for a president who I feel will accomplish real legislation that will make my life better.
