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.

Constitution, not consensus

From the Townhall.com Editors:

The President has a choice to make this month—one that will affect our nation for years to come.

It is one of those rare, historic moments when a President gets to literally honor his pledge to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States,” by nominating a judge for the Supreme Court.

Bush’s opportunity is rarer than most because he can change the composition of the highest court in the land by nominating a strong constitutionalist to fill the slot of the swing-voting Sandra Day O’Connor.
