Democrats pledge support for affirmative action

CNN If it was any source less than CNN I would not believe this quote. How can a man make it to his point in Politics and not know better?

"When I'm president, we'll do executive orders to overcome any wrong thing the Supreme Court does tomorrow or any other day," said Rep. Dick Gephardt of Missouri.

From a Blog:

Eugene now has a link to the C-SPAN video and at about 45:40 Gephardt says exactly what's quoted up above, and the context is exactly as represented. Sheesh. That's absolutely pathetic. Either (1) Gephardt, despite all his years in Congress, has still failed to learn that you can't overturn a Constitutional decision by the Supreme Court with an executive order; or (2) Gephardt was in Full Pander Mode and hoped his audience wouldn't know better. Neither speaks very well for him.
