Jonathan Turley, I love you, but we need to actually

[nadinbrzezinski]

call a NEW Constitutional Convention. I fear that will not happen until a civil war comes

[gateley]

1. It's interesting to hear him on this. I think he's so smart and knows his

Constitutional Law well. I just don't like what he's saying on this. Not that he's wrong, I just don't like it. :)

2. What did he say?

[nadinbrzezinski]

4. He pointed the major structural problems in the system

starting with the two party system, and the electoral college... and that we need to actually change this, because this is strangling the system.

[gateley]

5. He also said it's not as cut and dried as we are interpreting it.

That this would apply to Michael Moore as well as to GE.

He mentioned that both Kennedy and Stevens are good men, honestly believe they are right, but have entirely different views on this ruling. That Kennedy sincerely felt it was a First Amendment issue.

I WANTED him to say it was obvious corporate ass-kissing and that there was no constitutional, legal or moral justification for it. :7

ETA -- I'm sorry that I just remembered he said he doesn't think there's a whole hell of a lot we can do with it. (Paraphrasing) Oh! And that he'd hate to see the Constitution amended.

3. The two party system is inherernt in the

law of the land... not because they wanted it, they suspected factions after all... but by default. Proportional Representation was 70 years away.

The College is archaic and don't get me started on the senate.
