Well, is he right? Viva_La_Revolution Mar 2012 #7
Thank you for putting my thoughts ChazII Mar 2012 #9
He really makes a lot of sense; very intelligent and articulate man. I don't, K Gardner Mar 2012 #26
True. Posting the screen names ChazII Mar 2012 #53
He is a journalist. Journalists name their sources when quoting those sources. Vincardog Mar 2012 #61
LOL.. its a discussion forum with fake names. What purpose K Gardner Mar 2012 #63
It points directly at the opinions he is disagreeing with, that is what civilized people do. None of Vincardog Mar 2012 #65
He's wrong. ellisonz Mar 2012 #27
It's an implied power, yes. X_Digger Mar 2012 #31
There's nothing novel or implied about it... ellisonz Mar 2012 #33
Please show me where that says "has the power to decide the constitutionality of laws passed by Vincardog Mar 2012 #62
"arising under this Constitution" ellisonz Mar 2012 #64
is nowhere expressly conveyed. Right there it is settled law. ellisonz is howling at the moon Vincardog Mar 2012 #66
Don't you think that if after all this time the power of judicial review was not express... ellisonz Mar 2012 #67
The Constitution grants Congress the power to restrain the SCOTUS. Have you caught the Congress Vincardog Mar 2012 #68
That is a political argument and not a Constitutional argument. ellisonz Mar 2012 #69
Excuse me. I thought this whole thread was a constitutional argument. Think anything you want to. Vincardog Mar 2012 #71
Just because our government does not choose very often to pass an Amendment... ellisonz Mar 2012 #72
Last time I read it, the Constitution said that any authority not explicitly granted as belonging Vincardog Mar 2012 #74

Yep, and he won't respond to any posts Motown_Johnny Mar 2012 #17
Skinner, why do you say "you" and not "us" in your OP? mucifer Mar 2012 #18

If our government was not wholly owned by the fascist corporate machine I may agree with Thom. Lint Head Mar 2012 #23

For some reason I imagined Thom being a much older person NNN0LHI Mar 2012 #28

Well, it looks like he'll be responding to some of the questions this weekend. sabrina 1 Mar 2012 #78
I knew he isn't right wing; it was his insistence on his unique interpretation muriel_volestrangler Mar 2012 #79
I don't recall you making a thread of it the many times that Thom has praised DU readers. nt Gold Metal Flake Mar 2012 #40
