The Republican will to power remains ferocious. It will take a dauntless Democratic leader to win back the White House and restore dignity to the Constitution.
  • Not from the litter of likely heirs apparent we see today

    If anything the gaggle of weak kneed DNC flunkies today are anything but that. The Crusade today is "Anything but Bush, but nothing alarming or radical."

    I have yet to hear one solid plan or good idea from the lot of them. And they are our best and brightest hope? Anyway Sidney, as you well know the era of Constitutional law as the underpinnings of Executive power died a long time ago. It's all executive ruling, fiat. It's all regulatory law. The Constitution is, at best a talk show for the Bill of Rights crowd who get off endlessly screaming about guns, god and abortion and possibly the 4th amendment and to some extent the 8th . The rest of it is largely superfluous to the blogging classes and it always will be.

    The next President which, unless the Dems do something typically stupid, will be a Dem won't leave Iraq, won't touch abortion or guns or god. At best they'll make some pronouncements about rendition but they'll leave Gitmo open. In the mean time we're headed for a Depression, gas will be $7 gal there will be food shortages, people will starve and freeze. But hey - we got a Dem and now some Arab expats won't get sent to Syria to be abused. We're great. We fucking rule!
