Nov 2023 Mod notice:
There may be other, more specific, threads about some aspects of US politics, but this one tends to act as a hub for all sorts of related news and information, so it's usually one of the busiest OTC threads.
If you're new to OTC, it's worth reading the Introduction to On-Topic Conversations
and the On-Topic Conversations debate guidelines
before posting here.
Rumor-based, fear-mongering and/or inflammatory statements that damage the quality of the thread will be thumped. Off-topic posts will also be thumped. Repeat offenders may be suspended.
If time spent moderating this thread remains a distraction from moderation of the wiki itself, the thread will need to be locked. We want to avoid that, so please follow the forum rules
when posting here.
In line with the general forum rules, 'gravedancing' is prohibited here. If you're celebrating someone's death or hoping that they die, your post will get thumped. This rule applies regardless of what the person you're discussing has said or done.

The New Deal was just getting started, and would be challenged by the Supreme Court in the years to come. This was basically the window of opportunity in which the hyperconservative wet dream of declaring Social Security unconstitutional could have been realized if they had the "right" justices.
Walsh probably sees that time frame as something of a What Could Have Been moment.

Everything is Possible. But some things are more Probable than others. JEBAGEDDON 2016They blame Bill Clinton for the recession and 9/11 and think he's a morally bankrupt man because of the Monica Lewinsky thing.
Hillary is guilty by association for the most part although they do dislike that she kept her maiden name and that she was too involved in what her husband did during his term.
So. He's responsible for something that most sane people don't hold the actual president during that time responsible for. And they apparently don't recall he left his office with the country in a surplus that the next president then torpedoed. And they don't like Hillary because she kept her name and likes to be referred to as Hillary Rodham Clinton?
Yeah, your parents have a very skewed version of reality here.

Then I'd like to know what his logic for that is.
