Lawyer Al Pacino spumed and ranted in the 1979 film ...And Justice for All and Forsythe, as a judge, manfully gaveled him down. When Bill Murray, as the rapacious network executive in the 1989 Scrooged, needed a talking to, Forsythe, even in corpse makeup, had the authority to do it.

...contrast, Obama has managed to pass the stimulus; is working on a bipartisan solution to DADT, which looks set to pass with relatively little controversy; and passed health care reform after a yearlong struggle. Whatever the bill's faults, health care is a big win. Indeed, many in the Obama Administration argue that all Dems would be far worse off right now if health care had failed...
