And so falls the judiciary

Posted on January 31, 2006 by Gene

The trifecta is complete.
I feel sure that I mentioned, way back, my fears of the neo-con plan to completely take over all three branches of government, and with today’s confirmation of Samuel Alito to the Supreme Court, the plan is going swimmingly. They’ve got the Supreme Court and the Federal benches, they’ve carefully and methodically moved power away from Congress and to the executive branch (despite the constitutional mandate that the executive is the weakest branch); they have even taken over the media and lobbying industries — although, the K Street Project may be in jeopardy now that they’ve been caught with their hands in the cookie jar.
All of this is meant to cement conservative power permanently, and with the pointless milling about, wringing of hands, and political calculations before action, I’m afraid that the Democrats don’t stand a chance of breaking this stranglehold. I feel like we are all doomed to live out our lives under a repressive, regressive minority that we can’t shake.
Gee, reminds me of Iraq a little bit. That is, before we liberated them and they started a civil war.
That’s not a prediction or anything. Really.
But I’d stock up on food, gas, and perhaps a generator and body armor.
