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.

THE MAN WHO SHOULD BE ON SUPREME COURT SPEAKS OUT

From LauraIngraham.com:

If you missed it last week, please be sure to listen to Laura's interview with the man who was robbed of his seat on the Supreme Court in 1987--Judge Robert Bork. Judge Bork clearly lays out why "an originalist" approach to judging is the only way to avoid the situation we see today--where activist judges substitute their moral, policy, and cultural judgments for that of the citizenry. Bork refutes the inanity spouted recently by Sen. Arlen Specter, who maintains that an "originalist" approach to constitutional interpreation would mean that we would have segregated Senate Chambers today! (Uh, Arlen, where is that allowed in the Constitution?!) Bork is a former U.S Court of Appeals Judge for the District of Columbia and the author of many books including our favorite Tempting of America.
