TR>I did 28 out of 33. The ones I missed were sort of `chickenshit'
TR>questions, like what FDR threatened to do when the Supreme Court
TR>declared some of his `New Deal' unconstitutional. I didn't even know


TW>What is CS about that. IT is part of History.


Perhaps........but of little or no interest to me. Over the decades many
presidents have tried to do, or suggested doing things that didn't work out.


I knew nothing about it till just today. That makes that particular question a
little chickenshit, as far as I'm concerned.


TW>FDR was Enraged
TW>when the Court rulled against him and even tried to Increase the Size of
TW>the Court so he could "Pack" it with his Suporters.


TW>Also on FDR did you know that ovewral lhis "New Deal" was a dismal
TW>Failure?


Thats known even in our own day. And democrats haven't changed much since
FDR's time. The democrats `still' think they've got all the answers.


About the only thing FDR did for the country was fill in a few dull minutes on
occasion with his little `Fireside Chats'. I've heard some people from that
era say it was a toss up between FDR's Fireside Chat.....or Fibber McGee and
Molly! There probably wasn't much of a difference, anyway. Either way you got
to laugh your ass off!
