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.

Anti-Alito push fails to sway U.S.

Despite a major coordinated campaign, liberal interest groups have failed to convince the American public that the Senate should reject Supreme Court nominee Samuel A. Alito Jr.

Every major poll indicates that far more voters think Judge Alito should be confirmed than think he should be rejected. Though that support generally is lower than it was for John G. Roberts Jr. before his confirmation for chief justice in the fall, it is on par with the public support for Supreme Court nominees during the past 20 years.

I thought this was amusing:

At a December stop in Craig, Colo., three Rolling Justice members stopped at a Holiday Inn to meet with locals. No one showed up.

What were they thinking? Craig used to be nothing more than a gas station and a stray dog. I guess since they have a Holiday Inn now, it must be bigger, but it's still probably not much more than a wide spot in the road. It also used to be red-neck heaven. The left really needs to find someone besides retarded stoners to press their issues for them. Oh, wait...
