Neatly Pinned and Hung out to Dry
Have you noticed? The Reconstituted Supreme Court is hanging us out to dry. In the last few days decisions have been made about corporate campaign financing that gut McCain-Feingold, boundaries were loosened between church and state, voluntary school desegration programs have been outlawed and a protester can never again make banners that combine the name of an illicit drug and that of a religious figure (as in Tweek for the Virgin Mary)
It's all going according to the plan perpetrated by The Federalist Society.
Many members of the Federalist Society advocate a rollback of civil rights measures, reproductive choice, labor and employment regulations, and environmental protections. In Federalist Society’s guide to forming and running a chapter of the society, FS says it “creates an informal network of people with shared views which can provide assistance in job placement.”
Both Justices Roberts and Alito are affiliated.
These people don't care if Bush's ratings are only 28%. Actually, ratings don't matter much in a police state. Bush has accomplished his mission. He has stolen democracy for corporations. He needn't worry that his thievery will be punished by the Department of Justice either.
Photo note: Neatly pinned and hung out to dry. Also very white.
