First, a poll today, said 52% of Republicans believe in creationism and reject evolution. Anyone who cannot understand evolution is not intellectually competent to be in the congress, IMO. And yes, sometimes a little learning can be dangerous. That is simply not what existential law means. Whomever, you got that from clearly does not understand existentialism. Third, the vote was in bush's favor by under 100 votes and headed toward Gore when the supreme court stepped in to stop it. I remember very clearly watching it. The supreme court stopped the vote---stopped the vote!! clearly worried it was about to go into Gore's column. Forth, look how the conservative's (now primarily all Republican's) behave. They voted almost en masse against lifting DADT, against funding for the 9/11 workers medical care, against the dream act; and are even against the start treaty that virtually all military brass and Republican statesmen say is very important. I don't get my ideas from the liberal media. I get my ideas from 40 years of education. The Republican's these last two years show they have no soul and certainly have no sense. How any decent person could be a Republcian baffles me. The Republican party has become mean and nasty. They represent everything about the human species that is bad. <<As I understand the term "existential law", it does not mean "law is what the powerful say it is." Rather, it is the simple acknowledgement that legal reasoning or the implementation of justice cannot be scientific, and is inevitably and essentially value-laden or ideological.>>
