Fred Thompson With His Head Up His Ass Smoking a Crack Pipe

“Together, they would take on these urgent challenges with protectionism, higher taxes and an even bigger bureaucracy.

And a Supreme Court that could be lost to liberalism for a generation.”--Fred Thompson 9/2/08

With 2.5 Justices who’ve still not acknowledged the repeal of the Articles of Confederation; 1.5 willing to acknowledge the death of Herbert Hoover, but not his policies; one trying to personify a weather vane which veers to the right, two Eisenhower Republican (one 88 years old) and two Eisenhower Democrats (one with cancer), can we at least acknowledge that what’s at stake here is whether or not we will have a court lost to radical conservatism for a generation?

The dirty little secret of this election is that it represents for Democrats a last chance effort to save the Supreme Court for moderate conservatism, before it is taken in its totality by those who would seek to abolish the Magna Carta.  

Some rallying cry

You do realize that Hoover was a liberal, right? He served under Wilson during WW1 and thought about running as a democrat. He meddled with the economy and also didn't veto smoot-hawley.

I doubt you really understand anything remotely related to constitutional issues as well.

Read Caro on Hoover in the White House during the depression.

But, my reference to Hoover was more about the Pre-Roosevelt "constitution in exile" about to be revived if McCain becomes president. And that means the end of an activist government trying to help people.

But, I do owe Hooever one apology. He put Carodzo on the Suprme Court. Today's Republicans would never do this. Ole Ben wouldn't pass their crazed ideological litmus test, even if they did like the holding in Palsgraf.
