However liberal about social issues and the safety-net, Boo always sides with the conservatives about the anti-democratic structural features of the federal government that so markedly magnify conservative power.
He favors repeal of the 17th Amendment though progressives passed it because they could neither abolish the senate nor make representation there proportionate to population, which to this day they would prefer.
He defends the filibuster that even further magnifies conservative power in that body and laments the recent limitation of it by the Democrats.
Don't even ask about a presidentially nominated and senate confirmed, life-tenured committee of lawyers having unchallengable power to decide what the constitution means and force all levels of government and all officials, however exalted, to dance to its tune.
The most liberal thing about him, come to think of it, is the hostility toward white people he shares with Steve M of No More Mr Nice Blog.
He's really concerned about the names of sports teams, for example.
Like the Washington Redskins.
Probably not too worried about the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame, though.
Well, who knows?
Isn't that a negative stereotype?
The kind of thing that keeps him up nights, worrying about America.
