Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Charles Krauthammer: Government Will Lose Case Against Arizona



Charles Krauthammer: The reason I think [Arizona] will win is because (a) it's very clear -- and I think that Arizona will make the case -- the federal government is in dereliction of its duties. It is not enforcing the border. And second, the federal argument in this that somehow Arizona arresting people who are here illegally is impeding, or adding a burden on the federal government, is fatuous. In fact, it is assisting. If the feds are going to argue that we're undermanned, well, here you have Arizona sort of volunteering its police, its officials to go out to find and to turn over to the federal government people who are here illegally. So, if anything, it's a form of assistance. I think it's going to lose, and I think it will be a good day when this lawsuit loses.
