I won't even address this nonsense.

None. I admired Thurgood Marshall and Harry Blackmun for their courageous stances in life and on the bench. They had a deep abiding love for the little guy.

Yes, and if we continue the Bush policies it will get totally out of control. We are killing our country's fiscal present and future with this greed and no sharing mentality. We must redistribute the wealth to the bottom 99%. There is a great absence of money and wealth in all households of those that once were in the middle class. The Top 1% 's tax rate must be increased significantly to 75%. This country cannot sustain it's needs and goals on vacuum the poor and middle class of all their resources or what's left of them.

Yes. Look at how hot it is this year. We must get real and implement research and development on energies such as the water fueled engine, solar and wind power. We must invest in finding the right new fuel like we mean business.

I don't have enough factual information. This is where an opinion would not do this subject justice. I will not go on news articles only. I must have more information not given the general public.

The Defense Budget is over funded. It needs to be cut and we will still have the strongest military worldwide. I understand China is trying to beef up its military but I feel we must break the cycle of this type of investment in war when there is Americans going hungry and jobless for lack of industry.

See answer above.

I am Pro-Choice period.

I do not support this as a Christian. I stand on how God made the first man and the first woman and he joined them together to be fruitful and multiply. A constitutional amendment I would support if introduced.

FDR had it right. Not one republican voted for it then so only the Democrats have the duty to protect it for generations to come. I would fight any attempt to allow any part of Social Security to be put into the stock market.

No. I believe in collective bargaining.

There are too many guns and the idolization of them everywhere is troubling. I would propose laws limiting the cheap availability of the bullet. Even Associate justice Anton Scaila said the bullet is the next thing that needs to be addressed. I hope he is thinking in terms of limiting the availability. But I doubt it.

I support the Dream Act. It is a good faith effort towards responsible citizenship.
