Try? lol You have doubts he can enforce it? Seems you haven't a thinking reply eh? It's good that you recognize your limitations. It's Judge Vinson's decision so let him try to enforce it.

Cop saves Vt. man trapped up to neck in snow pile NEWFANE, Vt. -- A Vermont man buried up to his neck in snow that fell off his roof has been saved by a trooper who spotted his head and gloved hand. Police say 52-year-old Jean Butler of Newfane was raking snow off his house Friday when the snow toppled from the roof, trapping him for about two hours. A neighbor heard his pleas for help and went to his house but didn't find anyone. She then called police. Vermont State Police Trooper Genevra Cushman found Butler in the 5-to-6-foot snow pile and started to dig him out. Rescue and fire crews were called in to help pull Butler from the snow. Police say he was cold but in good spirits.

Palin says Obama's policies have US on road to ruin Sat Feb 5, 2011 * Palin warns of new era of big government * At Reagan celebration, says government has lost way By John Whitesides reuters.com SANTA BARBARA, Calif., Feb 4 (Reuters) - Republican Sarah Palin said on Friday an explosion of government spending and debt under President Barack Obama and his fellow Democrats had put the United States on "the road to ruin." In a tribute to former President Ronald Reagan, the potential 2012 White House contender said leaders in Washington had lost sight of the values that made Reagan a Republican icon and a hero to conservatives -- a belief in limited government, low taxes and personal freedoms. "This is not the road to national greatness, it is the road to ruin," Palin said of the growth in government spending, budget deficits, joblessness and housing foreclosures under Obama. "The federal government is spending too much, borrowing too much, growing and controlling too much," she said. Palin said Obama had revived the era of big government, and she ridiculed the infrastructure spending and investment he outlined in his recent State of the Union speech. "The only thing these investments will get us is a bullet train to bankruptcy," the 2008 vice presidential candidate said in a speech at the Ronald Reagan Ranch Center in Santa Barbara, California, part of two days of festivities marking the late president's 100th birthday. Reagan served two terms as president beginning in 1981, and his belief in limited government, reduced taxes and military strength has been the dominant political doctrine of his Republican Party ever since. His legacy gained new momentum in the last year with the growth of the conservative grassroots Tea Party movement, which has focused on a push for limited government and reduced government spending. Like virtually all Republican Party leaders, Palin and many of the other possible Republican candidates to unseat Obama go to great lengths to stress their belief in Reagan's principle. But Palin said the Republican search for the next Reagan would never be successful. "He was one of a kind," she said. Palin focused in particular on a Reagan speech during conservative Barry Goldwater's losing 1964 presidential campaign, titled "A Time for Choosing." 'AT A CROSSROADS' That speech brought Reagan, a Hollywood actor, to the attention of conservatives and helped catapult him to two terms as California governor and eventually to the White House. She said the speech, which warned of the dangers of big government and Democratic President Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" social programs, was still relevant. "We are at a crossroads," she said, "and this is a time of choosing."
