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.

RE: RE: RE: The Right to Life

Steve Brenneis responds to yours truly:

That's just the problem: "under the law."

As the chief of the executive branch, Bush not only has the authority, but the obligation to ignore a ruling by the judiciary that he finds in error. As pointed out in the Bennett and Krauthammer articles, if that is wrong then he faces impeachment by the legislative branch. In this case, because the legislature has already supported him once in the effort, a successful impeachment is unlikely.

Bush is pandering to politics. No more, no less.
