Lines: 25 For crying out load Toby, just because you have an itch to change Presidents, don't let it color your remarks to the extent that you get the three branches of government discombobulated. It was the SUPREME COURT that made the decision that a school getting funds for one program did not have to justify ALL programs. It was not the Presidents decision. It was CONGRESS that wrote the legislation that the SUPREME COURT made its decision on, not the President. It was a poorly written law, that's all there is to it. Put the blame where it belongs. Get a new law passed with the proper wording and everyone is back in business. You may not like Reagan's policies, but making stupid remarks about who is to blame for the fiasco is not the way to get things done. Try being positive by putting the onus where it belongs, with the Democratic majority Congress where the law was written in the first place. Get them to write laws without gapping loopholes that a Philadelphia lawyer could drive a Mack truck through. This little piece of chicanery has been bumping through the court system for the past 5 years, so how in HELL could it be Reagan's fault? Sorry to flame folks, but this type of putting the blame on the current President (no matter who), does nothing to address the real problem; what are we going to do about that bunch of numbskulls we call Congress?
