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.

Quote of the day

"To evolve, you don't need a Constitution. All you need is a legislature and a ballot box...things will evolve as much as you want. They can create a right to abortion, they can abolish the death penalty. All of these changes can come about democratically; you don't need a Constitution to do that and it's not the function of a Constitution to do that."

-- Justice Antonin Scalia
