You have the nerve to call *me* partisan?  Having *thousands* of FBI
files illegally is an *accident*?  No, Clinton-apologizer, either
Clinton has a most corrupt staff or he is corrupt himself.  And since
he *hired* those people, he is responsible for their actions.  Clinton
is either grossly incompetent or corrupt.  Either way, he isn't fit to
serve as president.

And you probably believe that Hillary is the best commodities trader
in all of recorded history.  Speaking of the queen, you *do* know that
William Safire, hardly a conservative, called her a "congenital liar"?

The MacDougals, Gov. Tucker, and others in Whitewater don't count?

But you are correct in one respect.  I should have said that there were
20 Clinton buddies who were either indicted, convicted, or *quit* (or
died) before they would have been.

Don't assume I like Reagan just because I slammed Clinton.  I don't
admire any president we've had for at least the last 60 years.

Some of would argue that nowhere in the Constitution does it state that
the federal government has the right to tax the states for money to pay
for local activities such as midnight basketball.  There is no possible
way to argue that midnight basketball falls under either interstate
commerce or the general welfare.

Read what I wrote.  Nowhere did I say that the SC passed laws.  What's
the matter, isn't reading comprehension taught in your ivory tower?

The reason he tried to pack the SC was because the SC was declaring his
laws unconstitutional.  Does the National Recovery Act ring a bell?  I
know full well that the SC doesn't pass laws, but they sure as hell can
declare some of them unconstitutional.  In case you don't know, FDR
tried to increase the SC to 15 justices.
