"The poorest man may, in his cottage, bid defiance to all the forces of the Crown.  It may be frail; its roof may shake; the wind may blow through it; the storms may enter; the rain may enter; but the King of England cannot enter; all his forces dare not cross the threshold of the ruined tenement".

"When then, my Lords, are all the generous efforts of our ancestors, are all those glorious contentions, by which they meant to secure themselves, and to transmit to their posterity, a known law, a certain rule of living, reduced to this conclusion, that instead of the arbitrary power of a King, we must submit to the arbitrary power of a House of Commons? If this be true, what benefit do we derive from the exchange? Tyranny, my Lords, is detestable in every shape; but in none is it so formidable as where it is assumed and exercised by a number of tyrants. But, my Lords, this is not the fact, this is not the constitution; we have a law of Parliament, we have a code in which every honest man may find it. We have Magna Charta, we have the Statute-book, and we have the Bill of Rights...It is to your ancestors, my Lords, it is to the English barons that we are indebted for the laws and constitution we possess. Their virtues were rude and uncultivated, but they were great and sincere...I think that history has not done justice to their conduct, when they obtained from their Sovereign that great acknowledgment of national rights contained in Magna Charta: they did not confine it to themselves alone, but delivered it as a common blessing to the whole people...A breach has been made in the constitution--the battlements are dismantled--the citadel is open to the first invader--the walls totter--the place is no longer tenable.--What then remains for us but to stand foremost in the breach, to repair it, or to perish in it?...let us consider which we ought to respect most--the representative or the collective body of the people. My Lords, five hundred gentlemen are not ten millions; and, if we must have a contention, let us take care to have the English nation on our side. If this question be given up, the freeholders of England are reduced to a condition baser than the peasantry of Poland...Unlimited power is apt to corrupt the minds of those who possess it; and this I know, my Lords, that where law ends, there tyranny begins. "

The Rt Hon William Pitt

HEck, those ineffective and dangerous anthrax vaccines, also.

I wonder if Schumer wants to test folks for excessive caffiene and alcohol. How about nicotine?

But I think the turning point probably was the way the Jets' defense confused the Pats and really got after Brady consistently, a few times hitting him hard, and seemed to unsettle him just enough to take him out of his usual machine-like precise and calm rhythm.  Very unusual to see Brady having to worry about the pass rush or at other times having to worry about being picked.

Or maybe FDR.

Either way belittling and criticizing Reagan however fair does not belittle his historical significance and the lame attempts by his critics to do so always fall short.

He brought the country back from recession and defeated the Soviet union.   Historical facts are hard to belittle and his legacy will live on forever.

Even though his suggestions aren't backed by any facts or expertise other then his own "sense".

We don't know Ron and we didn't know Ronald so we have no idea what sort of family drama they had and what would motivate a son to suggest such a thing if it wasn't true or what would cause him to reveal such a thing if it was.

From what I've seen the majority of this book is about their relationship.   What's the point of even putting this in there other then to create a media item to sell books?

Since I don't know either person and can't possibly know their motives I will side with the facts which in this case are the doctors and the hospital records that seem to indicate Ron is making this up to sell books.
