[Vision2020] (no subject)

[Sue Hovey]

The twist that is most memorable to me is when Eisenhower made Earl Warren chief justice to keep him from running for Prez, and it was the Warren court that came in with the unanimous decision in the 1954, Brown v The Board of Education of Topeka--possibly the most significant education decision of our times.

  That's the funny thing about politics Roger, things can go completely the opposite direction that you would think.  I believe it was Harry Blackmun, a Republican Richard Nixon appointee, who wrote the majority opinion on Roe v Wade.  Also, Justice John Paul Stevens who is still a very liberal justice on the supreme court at age 88 was appointed by Republican Gerald Ford.  And the biggest threat to Roe - the case that redrew the abortion lines (Planned Parenthood v Casey) - was spearheaded by Pennsylvania Democratic governor Bob Casey.  It's the classic 'be careful what you wish for' scenario.  Obama and the Democratic Congress is probably the best thing in laying the seeds for a Republican comeback and 'Contract with America - the Sequel' in 2010.

For some reason, neither party understands that they should govern from the center in order to keep their elected positions. My prediction (although this is an easy call) is that the Republican will sweep into Congress in 2010 and after that things will be very good until 2016 when the GOP will win back the White House and then proceed to choke once again (as both parties always do) controlling both the executive and legislation branches. The one thing I am looking forward to is some Obama appointments to the Supreme Court. Right now, there are 7 Republican appointees to 2 Democratic appointees (yeah, yeah, yeah, they're all supposed to be non-partison).
