You guys continue to make my point for me.

That's the problem dc, it hasn't worked for the last 140 years. In fact, the only time checks and balances actually work is when there's been a deadlock between both parties..... We haven't had an honest to goodness representative government since the civil war ended.

Dk....We have checks and balances and accountablity every two years with Congressional elections and every four years with Presidential elections and the nation has thrived and grown to be the greatest in the history of civiliation.

...I'd enjoy one good argument that describes how I am "too polarized".

Host..I agree with you, for the most part, on the policies and practices of the Bush adminisltration. IMO, they have been a disaster on nearly every level - fiscal policy, social policy and foreign policy. But what do you gain by suggesting an armed insurrection against the rich....or that Bush be hanged as a co-conspirator to Saddam...or loosely strung theories about right wing control of the media, etc.....?
As to the judiciary, what is accomplised by calling Rehnquist a "parisan bigot and drug abuser" or referring to a measure (Segal/Cover scores..whatever they are) that is ideologicial in and of itself......or describing any judicial decision that doesnt fit your interpretation of the Constitution as "social engineering"?.
All of these words and actions simply widen the divide, rather than bring the country together for the common good.
