357. Keep your personal attacks to yourself. Is your definition of stupid anyone who disagees with you??

How about Earl Warren, a Republican justice nominated by Eisenhower, whose most important decisions were the ruling that made racial segregation in public schools unconstitutional. and the "one-man one-vote" ruling that caused a major shift in legislative power from rural areas to cities. Politicians cross party platform all the time. Interestingly, one of Warren's unsuccessful initiatives as governor ofCalifornia was for universal health care.

In 1969, President Richard Nixon named Warren Burger as chief justice of the Supreme Court, and in June 1969, he was sworn in. His court upheld the 1966 Miranda decision, and Burger voted with the majority in the court's landmark 1973 decision, Roe v. Wade, which established women's constitutional right to have abortions.

And Nixon who worked Teddy Kennedy for a single payer system.

Lets face it, the reason I don't like the Affordable Healthcare Act is that its a Republican style response to healthcare - it puts the healthcare into the hands of privately owned insurance companies. What we need is a Democratric response in he form of a Federally managed single payer like GB, France, Canada or Germany.
