Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

George Will, as always, makes many cogent points. The strongest point he makes is against the hypocrisy of using questionable Constitutional tactics to populate the bench with constitutional constructionists. I may have changed my mind on the use of the "nuclear" option.
