I just don't see it that way - and 4 justices don't either. <br /><br /> The founders would be the first to condemn this obscene and transparent decision.<br /><br />Now that corporations are "people" I guess embryos will be next.fiteonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445217614665640081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13589532.post-70100770637213128712010-02-01T17:26:51.141-08:002010-02-01T17:26:51.141-08:0012341234fiteonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445217614665640081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13589532.post-73198048705502677852010-01-30T17:11:05.194-08:002010-01-30T17:11:05.194-08:001.

At least, not from me; perhaps another commenter will attempt that task but I will not.<br /><br />2. You are exactly right in your second paragraph. I feel exactly the way you do there.<br /><br />3. I didn't say that what you describe would be a good thing nor did I say it was the necessary result of the <i>Citizens United</i> case. I said the Constitution <i>requires</i> the result of that case, whether it's a good idea or not.Burt Likkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16060980744675990412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13589532.post-28982713362585678632010-01-30T13:52:27.030-08:002010-01-30T13:52:27.030-08:00Please tell me why when the GOP in-HAIR-ited a hea...Please tell me why when the GOP in-HAIR-ited a healthy economy in 2000 they didn't keep it healthy? Now tell me how they plan on fixing the deep, deep whole they buried us in. <br /><br /> I voted GOP all my life but this is no longer my GOP. It is now an angry, corporate owned, faux Christian, greedy group that cares only for itself and not for the people of America. <br /><br />Also, tell me how in the world it is a good thing that Big Business can pour all the national and INTERNATIONAL money they want into our elections? Didn't their lobbyists own enough lawmakers already?fiteonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11445217614665640081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13589532.post-47470108996230943162010-01-20T15:22:16.952-08:002010-01-20T15:22:16.952-08:00I thought a bit about that phrase before using it....I thought a bit about that phrase before using it. True, I could have used "termed" out of office and I concede that there is some ambiguity in the phrase about how exactly Bush came to be no longer the President.<br /><br />I concluded that a) operation of the twenty-second amendment did "force" Bush out of office because b) had Bush had been eligible to run for a third term, he would almost certainly have done so, and c) the tone of the 2008 election was a sound popular repudiation of the Bush Administration.<br /><br />I nevertheless concede that this was not an ideal word choice.Burt Likkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16060980744675990412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13589532.post-72786386979136589522010-01-20T13:25:18.880-08:002010-01-20T13:25:18.880-08:00President Bush wasn't "forced out of offi...President Bush wasn't "forced out of office"; he completed his second term. <br /><br />If you wanna see what forcing people out of office looks like, I suspect you'll be seeing a lot of that happening this November.
