You might want to know that Terilyn got an honorable mention for her reply to your reply/post about the lack of coverage by the cable phoney news channels of GW's signing of the FRC. I told you that that was a great observation.!
To: Grampa Dave
Oh, cool. I will go look!

You and McGavin 999 had some really great observations about yesterday's non event!
To: RJayneJ
I would like to salute you. I read your Essay and Bonus Bytes section and there is one big factor I have noticed.
The posts you present are the best of the best, and more importantly, you do so NO MATTER WHICH SIDE OF THE FENCE THEY ARE ON. It evens seems as if you make an attempt to evenly present both.
Many people would just select articles which supported their own views. I think you should be heartily congratulated on this. HUZZAHHHHHH !

Because Bush has now signed CFR, I am freed of the client confidence concerning the contents of the plan which I know about because I got to read it, word for word. In a nutshell: 1) Attorney General Ashcroft issues a formal Opinion stating that Shays-Meehan is unconstitutional.
2) President Bush signs the law, BUT AT THE SAME TIME,
3) President Bush instructs the Justice Department and Solicitor General Olson to go to court immediately to seek a binding declaration that Shays-Meehan is unconstitutional.
Five times in the past, Presidents have instructed Justice and/or the Solicitor General to oppose federal laws under challenge, rather than support them. This part would be rare, but not unprecedented. The part that no President had ever done before was to sign a law and attack that law in the same day.
What the White House has actually done winds up fairly close to this. General Ashcroft and General Olson, while nominally still "defending" the law, have been sidelined by hard-left lawyers who will carry the water to defend Shays-Meehan. And, the challenges to the law did come on the very day that Bush signed the bill into law.
Where things stand today, it is likely, as this plan intended, that a Supreme Court decision striking the law would come down BEFORE the November election. That would not only defang CFR as a campaign issue, it would reverse it. Li'l Tommy Daschle and company will have to explain, going into the fall elections, why they overwhelmingly supported a clearly unconstitutional bill.
However, don't ask how I happened to see this plan, or who engineered that. That aspect must and will remain confidential.

Thank you for bestowing this great honor upon me. But I could not have made it here without the support of my mother, the belt-swingin-when-I-needed-it woman that she is, my dear friend and motivator D Joyce, and to all the true conservatives of America.
Oh, mom! I'm on TV! Check this out. I want to thanks and give mad shout-outs to my E. 105th and St. Clair homies in Cleveland, my homies in Elyria, Loraine, Shaker Heights, Solon, Garfield Heights, and Parma, D & M BBQ for making my Polish Boys just like I like 'em (extra greasy), Lucky Leroy who was our neighborhood wino who always had a funny story to tell for a dime, Minnie's Barber Shop for keepin' a brotha'z hair tight, The Rapid Transit Authority cause we couldn't afford a car, and Mr. Jones for always runnin' me away from his daughter and yard which helped keep me in shape.
This award is so much bigger than me. It is for all those who disappeared in both Lake Erie and the Cuyahoga River.
Thank you! Love, peace, and Afro-Sheen! I'll continue to bring da flava to FR! It's a dirty job, but somebody gotta do it.
;-)
Wow! Now I know what to say if and when I win an Oscar!

Uh, Wow. Thanks. Please note that whoever the judges were on this, I don't know you, and didn't pay to have influence over the vote.
Again, many thanks.
To: RJayneJ
Thank you. I ran across the article while going through a bunch of her old stuff during spring cleaning. I was amazed at how much of it came true in so many ways. Thanks again for taking notice, she would have been pleased.

Another Freeper nominated your post. Other than the nominated posts and the posts I find, I am the judge. There is no money involved. There really is no contest. Essay of the Week is a glorified recommended reading list, presented in a fun way, I hope, and presented on my website called Free Republic Highlights. I am always looking for well written posts and I try to give recognition to those Freepers that take the time and effort to put their thoughts on this great forum in a well expressed way. };^D)

Thanks! To whoever nominated me, Thanks for reading. Most of the time I just rant, and every once in a while I write something decent. Again, thanks for the notice.
