Sarah for Chief Justice!!
Honest to God, as much as I love Sarah, I would rather have you Jim. I just re-read the story of Crockett being schooled by a farmer for voting to give $20,000 to help the folks in the Georgetown fire. He thought he was doing the right thing. He was a very honest man.
The farmer let him know that he would not vote for him again because that money was taken from hard working people against their will. Charity should be up to the people themselves.
That conversation changed Crockett's thoughts on the Constitution for the rest of his life. Sarah Palin may be smarter than you and have more experience, but that farmer let Crockett learn that simple adherence to the U.S. Constitution, as written, was understood by those Americans with steadfast principle. He agreed and apologized for his wrongful vote.
You my FRiend, fill the bill of that farmer.
His name was Horatio Bunce. I hope you've read the story. You are my Horatio Bunce along with a very small handful of other FReepers. I pinged onyx to this post because I respect her opinions on many things, this especially. She supports Sarah as do I. You'd be better on the SCOTUS.

Btw, I do remember reading about Crockett standing against federal welfare, but did not remember it was taught to him by a farmer. Thanks.
