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: What Would Reagan Do?

On the federal level, I favor a single 12 year term for lower court judges and Supreme Court justices. In other words, if this term limit was in effect when John Roberts was sworn-in as Chief Justice on September 29, 2005, his term as a Supreme Court Justice would end September 29, 2017. Now, I believe all current judges and justices should be grandfathered in, but once the current judges either retire, resign or die, the new judges and justices would fall under my new scenario.
