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: Liberal prof gets conservative over Supreme Court

The title of the article is a little disingenuous, but there are some real gems in there:

"What that means then is every federal environmental law would be unconstitutional, and many federal criminal laws would be unconstitutional."

By Jove! I think he's got it! So, professor, care to tell us why you think that's a problem?

And this is brilliant:

"It means changing to a smaller government that keeps tax rates low and expenditures under control instead of feeding the liberal beast.

It means creating a vast ownership society of private institutions: businesses, churches, associations, unions, families, schools, in which ordinary people can practice the skills of self-government instead of depending a megastructure staffed by all-powerful liberal experts.

It means a Supreme Court that is so dull and boring that the nomination of a new justice fails to divert radical left-wing law professors from the important work of defending terrorist detainees.

It is not too much to ask."
