Halfbright gets it wrong again...

From a post at DailyKos:
  • "If I were Kim Jong Il, I would read the message of Iraq to be, if you don't have nuclear weapons, you get invaded, and if you do have nuclear weapons, you don't get invaded. Because we didn't invade the Soviet Union and China. So I think we're sending the wrong messages and doing nothing to really prevent a very, very dangerous situation."
    --Madeleine Albright
Madam Secretary, hast thou the slightest notion by what means the North Koreans may have acquired such weapons? How about the Chinese for that matter, any clue how they got their hands on nuclear weapons?

Doth thou recall thine own words?
  • "Iraq is a long way from USA but, what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face."
    Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998

Also on that post was this gem, obviously Kim Campbell does not like the idea of representative legislatures enacting the will of the People into law.
  • "The courts have to overthrow legislation, because governments continue to breach constitutions. That's why you have a judicial branch to be umpires, to say when governments go too far. That's why you need judges who can't be fired!"
    --Fmr. Canadian prime minister Kim Campbell
Does Kim Campbell know that the judiciary (at least in America) is part of the government, and like the other two branches, derives its limited powers directly from the Constitution?

Does anyone really believe that the American patriots who wrote the Constitution meant to create a federal judiciary whose authority was limited to whatever scope it defined for itself?
