I have been monitoring this each day since Monday. I have searched in vain for the DU thread he responded to on Tuesday. I believe Thom, in his own way 'pwned'* one of our fellow members but I could not find that particular thread so that may or may not be the case. Lastly, I have not been at all successful in bringing Thom's notions regarding the powers of the SCOTUS and how they derived those powers to my own debate on this topic.

I would very much like to see my fellow DUers in action debating Thom's thinking on the SCOTUS, Marburry vs. Madison and what our founding fathers were trying to do here when first they set this all up.

At the moment, without seeing the persuasive thoughts of my fellow DUers, I side with Thom Hartmann in believing that the SCOTUS should not be in the position of power that it is in today.
Without Thom's help, I can not go toe to toe with any of you on this topic and frankly I am not even sure that Thom's position is right. For this reason, I hope the big DU will take this ball and run with it. (Please??!)

Thank you very much Skinner for getting this out there. Bookmarked and strongly recommended.

*(edited to add: Thom may be a mentor to me but truth be told I was not pleased that he called out a fellow DUer on the radio. He IS a fellow member and it seems to me that we have rules regarding this. I dearly love what Thom does for this nation but that was at best, 'poor judgement' on his part, imo. If Thom wanted to be fair about things, he should join us right here in the trenches and play by the same rules we DUers are governed by.)
