Mueller's favorite place to pray (written about in "Prophet's Way"), and the roof of the room where the Last Supper is reputed to have happened.
From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom is a national treasure. Read him, embrace him, learn from him, and follow him as we all work for social change."
From Cracking the Code:
"No one communicates more thoughtfully or effectively on the radio airwaves than Thom Hartmann. He gets inside the arguments and helps people to think them through—to understand how to respond when they’re talking about public issues with coworkers, neighbors, and friends. This book explores some of the key perspectives behind his approach, teaching us not just how to find the facts, but to talk about what they mean in a way that people will hear."
From Screwed:
"If we are going to live in a Democracy, we need to have a healthy middle class. Thom Hartmann shows us how the ‘cons’ have wronged this country, and tells us what needs to be done to reclaim what it is to be American."
Merritt Garland is a pawn, a centrist moderate widely respected by both sides, already haven been confirmed by the current sitting senators for Chief Justice in federal courts. Republicans have held high praise for Garland in the past. President Obama is letting Americans see just how far republicans will go to obstruct his authority as President.
From what I have read and heard about Merritt Garland from Free Speech TV talking heads and various newspaper accounts, Judge Garland appears to be to the right of center....conservative along the lines of Sandra Day O'Connor....which may not be to the liking of the neo-conservative T-partiers.
As for his prosecution of Timothy McVeigh, he never searched for McVeigh's accomplice.
