well, to be fair, Zebo, the republicans are at *least* as bad for Capitalism as the Socialist democrats, because they pay lip service to the creed and then betray it when it suits them. At this stage of the game, The Reps and Dems are two sides of the SAME coin. Most of the third parties, however, are a bit of a joke. There are a few in every camp who are genuine, honest, decent men and women who want to do the best for their country, but for the most part, the Politicians are the problem. They ignore the public when they shouldn't, and they pay attention to the public when they should ignore them. It's very often "all about the votes."
Sad, yes, but the truth.

PS: Ray, actually the Supreme Court of the United States is the Final Arbiter for ALL laws. Even state laws can be overridden by the Federal Supreme Court. If that were not so, Chinese people wouldn't be allowed to own property in California (by the California Constitution, 1879 if I recall the year correctly!)
