Lee didn't listen to Longstreet at Gettysburg?
Congressman Billy Bob. At least we know his judicial philosophy.
"Miers has no documented judicial philosophy history of advocating that the constitution be interpreted as written."
You'd love to see this be the requiring precedent for all nominees. You'd love it.
Confess MA. You just a plain vanilla legalist. ALL GOP nominees would be strict legalists, like you, if you had your way. Correct?
Political appointments to the SCOTUS, an established long tradition, by the GOP and Demoncrats, would be forever verboten in accordance with you view, yes?
I noticed as soon as I did, someone did above my post. Another reason why public school is absolute malnourishment of the mind.
Its what they refuse to teach you that causes the most harm.
What other industries were putting millions into the treasury and gold reserves in the 1850's?
Government reveunes during that period came almost exclusively from tariffs. So the import market was putting the millions in.
The history of stealth "trust me" candidates with no documented judicial philosophy, has been really horrific for Republicans.
Whenever another such candidate comes along, it is really predictable and ordinary for conservatives to be very concerned.
Note that one doesn't need to have been a judge, to express a judicial philosophy. A political appointment would be fine, go throw Santorum in there, he doesn't have a prayer of reelection anyway, and he does have a clearly documented judicial philosophy.
I'm sorry, I omitted the metal products from mining of the Comstock Lode which allowed further reserves to be used as collateral for financing of the Civil War.
Bottom line, you'd outlaw 'undocumented' nominess. Noted.
So how were the goods being purchased? With hot air or fiat money?
Any candidate who lacks a documented history of advocating a conservative judicial philosophy, to be specific. It doesn't have to be extreme or strict. Just something. Bush bypassed a very large pool of candidates that have this history, for one particularly lacking in it. Thus setting off alarming visions of Souter in a wide swath of conservatives.
What about the Aliens?

Cash.
Bravo
Most import were industrial goods. At the time northern manufacturers were at a significant competitive disadvantage to British and other European manufacturers. They used the power of the Federal Government to levy onerous tarrifs on these imports. This profited merchants and manufacturers in the north at the expense of largely poor farmers in the south (most of whom owned no slaves).
This how bad it is. The schools celebrate Cinco de Mayo to make the illegal aliens happy. But if you mention Jefferson Davis or Robert E. Lee in a government school you are condemned to a re-education class or expelled for insensitivity.
But I see I struck a nerve with the government school crack. So in the spirit of comity that fills us all on this forum (we are all on the same side you know) I apologize and take it back.
Ding! Ding! Ding! Thanks for the research.
