One reason I really want DeSantis to be the Republican nominee is because it will give us a pretty good indicator of where the country is and how...
What if he said he thought abortion should be a state issue and he said he would veto federal legislation regarding abortion (I doubt the latter...
A big problem I have with the "authoritarianism" complaints about DeSantis as far as this election cycle is concerned is that to act like his...
All the more reason he's become a liability as far as I'm concerned. A reasonable conservative view of Trump is that he can do good things and has...

Without providing a viable alternative, you're really giving no standard to gauge whether it's been a failure. Your perfect way of organizing a...
And who checks them if they just redefine the bylaws to mean whatever they want them to mean? A normal business "redefines" their bylaws or...
I never said it's perfect, but it's a Hell of a lot better than what you're suggesting.

No, nor would it make sense. That's what the courts are for. And if Congress doesn't like the interpretation, they can write a new law...
Settling "ambiguities" in a law is a very different issue than "writing law" itself. And those issues should be handled very differently.
Quite the opposite actually. Experts running the country would be the phds and elites running the country. Politicians? Outsiders with the...
What professor just curious?
The experts can inform them. But it's the elected politician's signature that should be on the dotted line, not the expert. Now if you're too...
Better than some "expert" not accountable to you or me. I'd rather have politicians accountable to the people and experts on government payroll...
