"I get no respect"
That is what the troops can say.
But who also gets no respect?
To put it plainly, lawyers and politicians have been the butt of jokes for quite some time, but it should be noted that "we the people" are the real bottom line.
What does this have to do with the issue of supporting troops? Talk is cheap, lives are dear. Law and politics should have the highest priority because of this connection. And that was not even where I started out on this course. My intention was to show that when all is said and done it matters who is in charge. So even behind what some say, what they do will be different. Context is always important, who says what is also important, but who is leading and who can follow it is the key.
It is too much to ask that those that disagree just shut up, but that seems what some are doing, without having the guts to even stay the course of saying it.
The point I can't put too plainly is that whatever is said, the context of who said it is important but that even different players taking the same course could do a better job, but it could be more important avoiding them.

Bush: the Belated Preemptive
The BLAME GAME is really a preemptive excuse to be unprecedented.
Of course Bush needed to preempt in 2000 the people and was selected unprecedentedly by the Supreme Court.
One way to understand this may be to look at the jokes that are "out there".
Politicians and lawyers "get no respect"!
That is because we must respect the understanding of them first, before blaming the people that practice them. And if our goal or starting point is truth or perfection, then we do not intend to really practice them. Meanwhile we must do what it takes to stop others who's intentions we cannot be certain about.
Can we break the vicious cycle?
The question is more important than the answer.
But one answer must be that we value/respect the process, not value slash meaning from words.

ALL ABOUT THE DANGERFIELD
RAMPING UP THE POLITICS OR LEVELING IT PERIOD.
Politics is the best way to stand up for our principles and participate in the process that moves us forward. It should not be another name for sacrificing both.
If politicians and lawyers "get no respect", we must notice where it comes from. If we don't fight it here, we can't get it anywhere.
PLEASE FILIBUSTER THE RUBBER STAMP ALITO.
