 MF> RP> Remember from whence come the Clintons.

 RP> Hehehe...  Yeah, but there's a lesson there.  Isn't it interesting
 RP> that they and so very many of the scum like them come from a legal
 RP> background?  It simply supports a contention I've long held, that we

 RP> We the People have much to repent of in that regard, as it is we who
 RP> have turned from the citizen legislature our founders intended and
 RP> elected mostly a bunch of lawyers instead.  Little wonder our laws are
 RP> in such a mess these days, and little wonder Congress hasn't the spine
 RP> to take on the Mount Olympus of so much of its membership, the Supreme
 RP> Court, as it is Constitutionally bound to do when the Court is out of
 RP> line.
The Bard of Hannibal, back in the latter part of the last century, commented 
that our society was unique for having its own built-in criminal class, that 
being Congress. He further noted at that time that congress was WELL OVER 95%
lawyers.
As to the Olympian nature of the Supremes... last I looked, save for O'connor
and Bader-Ginsburg, they all put their pants on one leg at a time. They are
(ostensibly) humans, capable of error as much as the rest of us. The day that 
they DO forget this.... well, I'll read a requiem for our poor country... 
would
there be a Jewish FORLE out there that would be so kind as to say kaddish at 
that time? (I would, but not only do I not know it entirely, but as I am not 
a Jew, it would not be appropriate.)
Uncle Sam has taken one hell of a licking for the past five years, but I am 
not
about to turn the respirator off, nor let the Cheif Marxists, ERRR Executives
do so either. My wory is who's in the bullpen for the GOP? I have heard Watts
and Thompson look viable... any others?
