Why we should reject Alito
It is frightening watching the news shows this past weekend. Anyone who doesn’t see how our nation is the reincarnation of Nazi Germany is either is deep deep denial, in on the scam or too brain dead to be effective resisters against its onslaught. Watching the talking heads justify why Alito will be on the bench of the supreme court is downright insulting to anyone with a pinch of intelligence. He will be on the bench because we were burned as activists during the sixties and seventies due to COINTELPRO and now we have no energy left to fight. But fight we must, otherwise it will be more than AIDS, drugs, crime and corruption that we will be worring about.
Of all the things Herr Bush and gang as done in the name of fighting terroism (create a problem and pretend to be saviors in offering the solution) this is the most deadly if allowed to go unchecked. Up until now theoretically at least congress could put a check on the executive brance. With Alito on the bench we have what in the words of Mike
Whitney
” Alito is the final piece in the neocon puzzle; the cornerstone for an American police-state. If he is approved by the Senate, Bush will have his Federalist “rubber-stamp” on the high court and the Congress will be rendered powerless. No law will be able to check or balance the “unitary” authority of the executive.”
Your soul will no longer be yours it will belong to the brown shirts, neo-cons or whatever name you want to attach to them. It really is what the folks at signs have been warning us about for a while now.
