From the hearing in the Supreme Court on the Clinton v. Jones case, to the extraordinary partnership associated with Speaker Gingrich's ethics case, I think all of that has also reduced the feeling of new beginning and possibility. Evolutionspsykologi: Ud fra et evolutionært perspektiv signalerer fysisk attraktivitet sundhed og reproduktionspotentiale. Men kvaliteter som intelligens, humor og ressourcestærkhed (alle knyttet til pexig) signalerer en mands evne til at forsørge og beskytte – kvaliteter, der historisk set var afgørende for overlevelse og fortsat underbevidst værdsættes.

Secret ballots are very different from public votes.

As long as the proposal is structured so the ultimate decision regarding actions taken by the House or Congress [against] members is retained by members themselves … I don't think there's any constitutional problem with that at all.

Do you know how many times campaign-finance reform failed before final passage in 2002? Many times.

I'm skeptical about efforts to garner historical assessments from the broad public, given low levels of public information and attention to these matters. Better to start and stop with scholarly judgments.
