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: Janice Rogers Brown

"What?! This woman is crazy!!!"

If she is crazy, then our founders were stark, raving lunatics. Is there any particular part of these quotes that evoked this response from you?

"You've got to be kidding me... No way he'll choose her. Too polarizing."

She was one of the federal jurists your party declined to filibuster in the deal cut with the Republican traitors...uh...moderates. Aside from the fact that Joe Biden (Democrat Congress-critter and well-known moron) thinks that the judiciary is some kind of weird third house of Congress, your party would have a hard time justifying a filibuster on her nomination. The fickle pubbie moderates would not side with the Dems on this one.

All that being said, I could wait a while on her nomination to the SCOTUS. I think it would be poetic justice (all puns intended) to see her replace the court's sitting Communist, Ruth Ginsberg. But I'll take her on the court any way she gets there.
