"The Rehnquist era started the shift of the power to the states and away from the federal government - away from the Congress, away from the federal agencies, away from the regulatory system created to protect employees, consumers, investors - the people of America."

1. Okay, got it, the states will reign supreme over the feds.

. . . . it will also preside over the expansion of presidential powers in ways never before imagined. But even more importantly, it will insulate the President from accountability - the Chief Executive, under the new regime, will be responsible to no one.

2. Okay, got it, the President will reign supreme over all at the head of the federal government. Oops, but what about point one?

Typical trial lawyer -- he contradicts himself from one paragraph to the next.


Interesting to note that democratically elected officials like the President, Governors and State Legislators are the enemy here and that unelected civil servants are the protectors of us all.

Even while I diagree with much of what is said it is a concern that this is, at present, a seemingly endless war. While Iraq will probably be off the radar by years end, the war on terror will go on.

Why does this concern me?

Obvious answer, a Democratic President, A Democratic House and Senate.

Won't happen you say...politics is a strange beast.

Then again I've been wrong before and I hope I'm wrong this time,
