Someone wondered why I tag certain items as Federalist Society. This is my reasoning. Please, wake up. Find out who is a member. Read about their history. They are not an old club, but they are gaining powerful positions in our govenment, and they are a threat to democracy as we understand it.
They thought it was an insider's joke when they named it - but it reveals who they are. They claim their goal is to return to the original Constitution, self described "originalists".
Sounds worthy, doesn't it.
Sounds patriotic and Founding Fatherish.
Jefferson, Mason, and Madison are rolling in their graves.
The key is to think of the original Constitution, yes, but before it was amended with our
Bill of Rights.
The American Revolution was led by the upper merchant class, for business reasons, and sold to the mechanics and farmers with liberal platitudes.
After the bloody war was won, the men who fought were expected to return to their servant status but they instead demanded and, after becoming anarchistic, they won their Bill of Rights.
A Constitution as we have it, without our Bill of Rights, and especially with the Supreme Court having instituted "corporate personhood" is opening the door to totalitarianism.
The melding of corporate and state interests is the definition of fascism.
