Amidst the once-and-future firestorm surrounding the expected overturning of Roe v Wade, with pro-choice advocates screaming "Stare Decisis" at the top of their lungs, pro-lifers offering their arguments supporting the presumed Dodd decision, and Constitutionalists on both sides of the abortion issue applauding the return of what should always have been a legislative matter to Congress and the States, I am inclined to ponder other Supreme Court decisions that deserve similar defenestration.
Peter, you mentioned the New Deal, and triggered my anti-Commie feelings for FDR. You know that Neville Chamberlain was called the”Traitor of Munich,” well, I call FDR the “Traitor of Yalta”. I also call JFK the “Traitor of the Bay of Pigs”. Love to see you write an article about why JFK wimped out at Bay of Pigs. But for that fiasco, we would never have had the Cuban missile crisis. Best, Dan.
I don't have enough depth of knowledge on Bay of Pigs or that particular era to give it a good treatment. If you want to give it a go, drop me an email and we can discuss.
Great column! I absolutely agree about Kelo - that inflames me!
One of your best yet.
