"The government of the United States is a definite government, confined to specified objects. It is not like the state governments, whose powers are more general. Charity is no part of the legislative duty of the government."

-- James Madison (speech in the House of Representatives, 10 January 1794)

Rules, rules, rules

It is very curious, politicians who are all for the rules when they might lead to a desired outcome, but seem to conveniently forget the rules when they get in their way.

Compare Pelosi's current penchant for the letter of the law to her attitude towards it when it comes to judges and The U.S.Constitution!
