"Maybe peace would have broken out with a different kind of White House.  One less commited to waging a perpetual campaign. A White House that would see a 51-48 victory as a call to humility and compromise rather than an irrefutable mandate."
And who said this? Barack Obama in his book Audacity of Hope when talking about Bush's re-election in 2004.  It's funny how things change when you're the one in power isn't it?

Yeah,

It's even funnier how things change when you're NOT in power too.

Sincerely,

In this sense, the mandate is in fact not truly mandatory, but is instead a type of legal fiction wherein the court assumes an illusion of power which, in actuality, is constrained by the defendant's free will. Thanks.
