To be fair, if the book whose cover you posted was published before 1801, Mark might have been the one to coin the phrase. ;>)
Come on, every FReeper worth his/her salt knows the phrase came from Jefferson's letter to the Danbury Baptist Association in 1801, and that the first mention of the 'separation of Church and State' first appeared in a SCOTUS decision in the 1880's.
You need to take that up with Mark Levin.
ROTFLOL...Soros is actually a lousy businessman. Most of his wealth was derived from having been a worldwide currency thief.
I would add that our Pubbie senators need to keep front and center, this ain't about them. They were sent there to do a job for the people that sent 'em -- that's us. The unprecedented gains in the last 3 election cycles should give 'em some additional backbone - we'll see. It could be they are so accustomed to being losers, they haven't gotten the hang of "winning" yet. Add to that, the Dims are a vicious bunch that are hell bent on socializing America. A more wild-eyed group we aren't likely to see in our lifetimes. Logical, rational, linear arguments won't, and can't, work on 'em. Raw constitutional power is what it will take, and our senators are on obligated to exercise it on our behalf.
Could the nuclear option precede a polar shift in the electorate? I'm betting it can and this scares the bejeebers out of the Dims. Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch o' socialists.
Thanky fer the pink Meek.

The real area where President Bush and the nominees have been hammered is in the Circuit Courts..... Here are a few good links showing some comparisons and data on Judicial nomination process:
First two years of a Presidency;

107th Congress:

108th Congress:

It's always about the campaign, never about governance.
Thanks for the ping!
There's gotta be a funny there somewhere ;^)

NUKE THE UNBORN GAY BABY WHALES!
You can just about hear the RadLibs' heads imploding as you drive by...

I believe that this is my first full-blown essay here at Free Republic. Any comments from anybody, including critique of my writing style (such as it is), would be greatly appreciated.
Our essay writer should do his own research, doncha think?
REYNOLDS v. U.S., 98 U.S. 145 (1878)
You forgot to link your source.
Indeed. Accepted facts are not always facts? One has to wonder why the Hugo Black reference is widely accepted as the "first" decision to cite the "separation" language. Thoughts?
REYNOLDS v. U.S., 98 U.S. 145 (1878)
Noted. Thanks for the point(s).

ROTFLOL!!
Like any great idea it's quite obvious- now that you've pointed it out!
I sure hope the Republicans can stop these filibusters by the 'RATS
and get all of Bush's nominations to floor votes. That's all we ask.
Give them an up-or-down vote on each one. Let the majority rule,
not the MINORITY rule.
