The president is charged with enforcing the laws. He can choose to execute certain laws aggressively and direct his attorney general to soft-peddle other laws.
When issues are raised involving the constitutionality of federal legislation, or the question is posed which side should prevail in a case pitting state authority against and federal authority, the president directs his solicitor and attorney generals on how he wants them to argue the government's case. Indeed, he can direct them to surrender and concede the point altogether if he prefers that outcome.
The president can also seek to have Congress implement new legislation. Most state of the union addresses are a litany of the legislative initiatives the president wants to push.
Now imagine a socially liberal anti-Second Amendment, pro-gay agenda Giuliani presidency and a socially liberal anti-Second Amendment, pro-gay agenda Pelosi-Reid Congress. What sort of legislation do you believe they will agree on? How zealously do you believe a Giuliani presidency will enforce federal gun laws? What will he direct his solicitor or attorney generals to do when he is faced with a circuit court decision that upholds "hate crime" legislation that punishes free speech? How about a circuit court decision that declares that the right to bear and keep arms is a communal right, not an individual right? Do you really expect him to go to the mat to defend socially conservative views on these issues?
There is grave evil and enormous damage that can be loosed on this country when the executive and legislative branches are controlled by unabashed social liberals.
Taking your argument a step further, we had a GOP President, Congress and Senate, we still have abortions.
Agreed...and...
