I think that for most on this board, those who think the Jersey worn by their "team" is the most important item when voting, that it is a matter of perspective. That often they'll overlook what they think is overreach when done by the "other side" when it is done by their own team thinking it is "reasonable action" when those jerks just keep saying "no".
If Trump declares a "national emergency" at the border to build his barrier on the 200 or so miles left where it will be effective, I will tell people I think it is overreach even though he pretends to wear the same jersey as my "team"... I do not believe that most here would if somebody wearing their jersey overreaches.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
