Hi! ...yeah, and then I got covered up for almost two days... haven't been able to get back to this thread since Friday!
But I'm still around to remind everyone:

You are quite correct; the judicial branch has all but usurped the legislative process in this country. Regards.
Glad to see Bob Ireland is still around driving the snakes out from our midst.
Howdy, friend.....keep your powder dry.

As I said, sloppy writing bespeaks of sloppy thinking. What makes you think a sloppily-worded message is worth reading?
" ...but they joined the oligarchy?"
I think they've been a part of it for years. Excuse me, I've got to go get this wool pulled out of my eyes.
"Yeah, that's right: I am saying this is an ongoing coup d'état, and we are witnessing the next step: [if one cannot win at the ballot box], simply put your political opponents in jail on any charge you can trump up."
And when THAT does not work...
Well, it's interesting to note that the last time a President got on the wrong side of the CIA was in 1961, after the Bay of Pigs. Less than three years later, that President was dead.
I feel the same way. And I was a registered Democrat until 1998.
Ok, but not an oligarchy of democrats.
Republicans make up the majority.
However, there is an endless sea of unelected beauracrats who must be tamed. The 546 elected officials do not control the beauracracy.
Bump! for the Newbie! (Long time no see Bob)
Dog and Pony show?
The Republicans are that team that always plays against the Globe Trotters.
Never any doubt about the outcome.
"Yeah, that's right: I am saying this is an ongoing coup d'état, and we are witnessing the next step: [if one cannot win at the ballot box], simply put your political opponents in jail on any charge you can trump up."
Wow, you took the words right out of my head. The Rat party is America's biggest problem.
It's the old tic is bigger than the cow trick.
...I've read that state and local regulatory laws and schemes are proliferating at a much faster rate....
Sounds like Rhode Island.

That makes me feel like St. Patrick... Yikes!
Howdy!
Hi... yeah... lots of lurking the past few years... mostly due to my Tolkien Dictionary:

Power in the Senate has to be returned to the states and the people are now way to numerous to be represented by 435 people in any effective way.
I personally believe that until we repeal the 17th Amendment, almost any course of action we as a people do will be ineffective.
Just think how the SCOTUS nominee process would be different if there were no 17th ????
I certainly think we need to enlarge the house by at least 1/3 if not more
Not in my domain, it isn't, my friend.
But I wouldn't doubt that there could be another one. Take care, Bob..............FRegards
Whack for the hell-of-it!!.............FRegards
