The only thing Nader is good for these days is confusing democrats to vote for him. I'd love to see him on the ballot but really overall he just doesn't matter.
This election will not be a good one for Democrats if Nader drains many votes from them. Historically, presidents who get a second term make their most unpopular decisions during the second term because they can't get re-elected anyway. What will Bush do if he gets re-elected? He could effectively overturn Roe v. Wade through executive order, start a war with Iran or Korea or China, release pseudo-scientific studies declaring homosexuality to be a mental illness, continue to chip away at the Bill of Rights,
You give too much weight to executive orders. They are typically nonsense/fluffy orders that can be overturned by either court orders or the next president.
Just like laws passed by the legislature can be overturned by the courts or not enforced by the President? I don't think I give too much weight and I suspect that the men who designed our system of checks and balances would agree.
Lol...I'm afraid the men who created the system of checks and balances didn't have anything to do with the abomination that is executive orders. Perhaps a little history [halexandria.org]on the subject is in order.
LOL or cry in silence, it doesn't matter to me which you do. Executive Orders are not fluff or nonsense and are enforced even when they contravene the Constitution. You should read
one
[whitehouse.gov]
or
two [sfsu.edu] before you pooh pooh them as impotent foolishness. And how do you expect anyone to take seriously your link to a crackpot website? [halexandria.org] Did you know what kind of "fluffy nonsense" that site contains, or did you find that particular page in Google and so accept it as gospel truth?
Having no opinion on the argument over executive orders in the preceding posts... that is one f*ed up link. Wow, their views are so far outside mainstream science that it might be a fun read for an afternoon. Sometimes I think that these sites are setup by reasonable people hoping to discredit ludicrous views by exposing them, but then other times I worry that these are legit websites and people really believe that stuff!
