D is D

Democrats have a great fondness for obfuscatory adjectives. Look what they have tried to do to "Justice": Social Justice, Environmental Justice, Economic Justice - yet a thing still is either just or it is not. This long struggle to pass a bill - any bill - under the name of "health care reform" has shown that however they modify themselves as blue dog, pro-life or whatever else they are still Dems first and foremost.

A Majority of (the) One

So instead of abortion being deemed a "right" at the pleasure of 5 of the 9 members of the supreme court, it is now "banned" at the pleasure of 1 president? While I'm generally against populism, this is populism of the smallist minority possible and almost entirely unaccountable to any constituency.
