Picks fights? I don't think a more inappropriate eupemism for attempting to influence the Court could be found, Glass.

As long as Robo-Gore 2 has a better economic plan than 'throw more taxpayer money at it' I may just give him a shot.
LOL... i stand by my statemnet and reassert it.
Obama has picked fights with SCOTUS by chiding them at the state of the union a couple years ago over the superpac decisions, and also more recently by telling them they they shouldn't "mess" with democratically decided law.
this was prolly politcally motivated, but it was dumb IMO nonethelss.
Obama ISa Constitutioanl Law Professor. He knows the Founders set up a "triangular" system of checks and ballances, it was part of the basic high school textbook program when Obama and i wer ein high school (he's a hair younger than me)
as to Romeny throwing money around? if you think Bush was bad? (i did and he was) Romney willmake Obama and Bush together seem like penny pinchers.
I've spent alot of time here trying to splain how economics doesn't work properly in the US. The reason we are having a much higher deficit under Obama is not because he personally has spent that much more than anybody else, i've shown the figures before, here they are again, please take note that Obama had almost nothign to do with spending more revenues in 2009... that was the "hangover form the Bush era, and Obama's first budget took effect in Oct 2009 for the NEXT year.. he didn't even get into office until Jan '09 and the budget was already made AND IN EFFECT FOR THREE MONTHS , but never passed, spending was ad hoc:
also note that chart is form CBO and provided for me to use here by the Wall st Journal (rupert mudrock). Niether are Obama fans.
Now that said? i don't think Obama is a penny pincher either, but i do know that whoever is n power spends and whoever is out of pwer complains, but they change sides as easily as a quadruple agent in the cold war.
The GOP's set up our economy to fail after they lost control for political reasons to make just htis argument, adn furthermore, th eproff is in the fact thatthey made the Bush tax cuts to expire. that was also politcal stcking of the deck,
when is everybody going to stop chasing their own tails over this and start demanding real action?
you cannot just "cut" govt spending, it will also destroy the economy because so much of GDP is dependant on it...
you can't take 1/4 to 1/2 million jobs from middle class people and expcet the economy not to tank! that's waht cutting the govt budget does.
you MUST freeze the govt spending or cut it by ONLY 1% per year across the board to all and allow the agencies a way to work thru it till the revenues return...
