| @ Dirk: Please. I'm not sure if you're an "all Democratic presidents are evil usurpers" Republican or a "things were better back in the day" nostalgist or both. Whatever the case may be, I will tell you that all politicians--Democratic, Republican, Whig, Federalist, Democratic-Republican, etc.--push and prod the Constitution to serve their agenda, and they always have. That is the nature of the document and of the political process. |
