If they were prone to that kind of thing, they never would have gotten the nomination. It's sad, and this is one of the best reasons to change the way the candidates are nominated--only the loyal can get in.Full Metal Attorneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04818204892818121018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13079355.post-1159190242325130122006-09-25T08:17:00.000-05:002006-09-25T08:17:00.000-05:00The cabinet should reduce the number of bad decisi...<I>The cabinet should reduce the number of bad decisions that one person alone would make.</I><BR/><BR/>The key word there being <B>should</B>. :)<BR/><BR/>I started to post this right after my other comment, but realized that I really knew very little about the Cabinet, so did a little research here and there.<BR/><BR/>So...the Cabinet is not established by the Constitution except indirectly andIbaDaiRonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04845661759929090003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13079355.post-1159151033607237202006-09-24T21:23:00.000-05:002006-09-24T21:23:00.000-05:00Yeah, the comments have dropped off there quite a ...Yeah, the comments have dropped off there quite a bit. I think a lot of it has to do with the recent trolling / irrelevant arguments that were going on there. But there's also the fact that people are getting sick and tired of the war, which is too often a topic of LG's choice.<BR/><BR/>As for the Executive branch, it needs to be power invested in a very small group.

He thought they'd be a bad thing. Nothing in the Constitution requires them, but they can't be abolished without amending the Constitution due to the First Amendment and the implied right of association.
