A Colorado man is the first person to challenge the constitutionality of a law allowing the National Security Agency to tap foreign phone and email conversations that involve Americans.
Pipe dream, IMO, but interesting take.

I love the piece, but this would require Republicans to stop being Republicans. Big moneyed interests hedge their bets by supporting both Democrats and Republicans and remaining in the pockets of both. That’s what you call a win, win.
Think Tank Employees Tend to Support Democrats
A U.S. News analysis of data from the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonpartisan organization that tracks money in politics, suggests that employees at all but the most conservative organizations gave far more financial support to Democrats than Republicans over the last four election cycles.

Not that they are necessarily correct, but the most educated and experienced people within a policy field are likely to identify as Democrats. Most think tanks require a phd to get your foot in the door. The same in academia. It’s an interesting correlation, especially so when one examines the heavy hitters on that list.

Typical anti-intellectual rubbish from someone with an inferiority complex. There are plenty of doers employed at the think tanks in that list, unless you are disregarding former policy makers, diplomats, intelligence analysts and military officers, professions that many academics held before entering academia.

Yep, this is evidence his degree is from the University of Pitttbullll.

If you don’t mind me asking, where is your degree from, and what did you study? I’ve always been curious based on your interests.
Your body is not your own.

Typical elitist rubbish from someone with a superiority complex. The notion that certain people will be drawn to certain fields has as much validity as the implications your original post on the topic do.
