We do things backwards in the U.S. . First the idiot lawmakers pass a law and the supreme dude signs it. THEN we waste countless hours in court costs deciding if it was legal in the first place.

They also used to tax capital gains to encourage long-term investment ... which kept the stock market much more stable for small investors. Yet another law changed to suit the big boys.

You make some of the peasants think they have shinier hats and the shit that falls on them is better, that way they help you keep the other peasants down. ;)

Edward Klein is usually tagged in the "village idiots and clowns" humor section, kind of like David Barton and his bizarro world hallucinated imaginary version of Thomas Jefferson.

Sometimes this sort of "edit" turns out to be an over-zealous aide who thinks the results justified the means.

It keeps their base frothing at the mouth and in line. The *problem* is - the GOP base is shrinking. Both from people (like me) abandoning it over the last 20 years and from simple age and race...
