Speaking of lawyers and cities, wonder where he stands on eminent domain? Does he have a position on Kelo?

Why don't we ask him? President Bush didn't have a whole lot to say about this debacle, because it was up to the Supremes. You think Rudy, or anyone else can usurp the Courts decisions?

I've seen this assertion repeated often in the last few weeks. The President surely impact these issues in more ways than one. The White House plays a role in setting the legislative agenda both by calling for Congress to send up new legislation or through the veto pen. The President appoints SC justices. The President has the platform to persuade the public at large.

I could name other reasons as well, but I'm sure you get the idea.
