Tricky Dicky also brought us the now-40-year-old failed War on Drugs.

New FBI Numbers Reveal Failure Of “War On Drugs”: One Drug Arrest Every 19 Seconds In The U.S.
By Mark Perry

WASHINGTON, D.C. — “A new FBI report released today shows that there is a drug arrest every 19 seconds in the U.S. A group of police and judges who have been campaigning to legalize and regulate drugs pointed to the figures showing more than 1.6 million drug arrests in 2010 as evidence that the “war on drugs” is a failure that can never be won.

“Since the declaration of the “War on Drugs” 40 years ago we’ve arrested tens of millions of people in an effort to reduce drug use. The fact that cops had to spend time arresting another 1.6 million of our fellow citizens last year shows that it simply hasn’t worked. In the current economy we simply cannot afford to keep arresting three people every minute in the failed ‘war on drugs,’” said Neill Franklin, a retired Baltimore narcotics cop who now heads the group Law Enforcement Against Prohibition ( http://www.copssaylegalizedrugs.com/ ). “If we legalized and taxed drugs, we could not only create new revenue in addition to the money we’d save from ending the cruel policy of arresting users, but we’d make society safer by bankrupting the cartels and gangs who control the currently illegal marketplace.”

Today’s FBI report ( http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/crime-in-the-u.s/2010/crime-in-the-u.s.-2010 ) shows that 81.9 percent of all drug arrests in 2010 were for possession only, and 45.8 percent of all drug arrests were for possession of marijuana.”

Yes, Agnew's resignation for tax fraud, embezzlement, and other financial crimes for which he was under indictment.

Gold Star to Due - use of the term 'oval office' may have been a tad loose.

Nixon should have had the balls to tell the Courts and Congress to SHOVE IT - with a great big bonfire on the White House front lawn of certain 'tapes'. He was a dumbschitt - in so many ways.

I actually rank him BELOW Carter in 'whooze been the worst president'. Remember, NIXON was the DIRECT CAUSE of the hyper-inflation that kicked off under Carter. Carter, of course, made things MUCH WORSE - but the root cause was Nixon, the budgets there, and an out of control Fed.

From Wikipedia (accurate even if memory serves in vaguely)
During his fifth year as Vice President, in the late summer of 1973, Agnew was under investigation by the United States Attorney's office in Baltimore, Maryland, on charges of extortion, tax fraud, bribery and conspiracy. In October, he was formally charged with having accepted bribes totaling more than $100,000, while holding office as Baltimore County Executive, Governor of Maryland, and Vice President of the United States. On October 10, 1973, Agnew was allowed to plead no contest to a single charge that he had failed to report $29,500 of income received in 1967, with the condition that he resign the office of Vice President.
