busy, busy, busy
...while you were busy holding signs and signing petitions and marching against the Bush war on Iraq, Iran and the already begun imperial storm trooper conquest of the world...
the Rovian chess-playing bean-counters were busy on their own project...
And how loudly are the DemocRats, or for that matter, the Reptiles who still believe in the Constitutional balance of powers, how loudly are they yelping?
{crickets chirping}
Executive Order 13422 was published in the Federal Register on January 23, 2007.
You can view it here:

The King, or Dictator, has packed the Court and now has made an end run around the last line of defense. We are no longer a Republic.

the goal of the Federalist Society
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.

The Slimy Newt wants to "reconsider" our First Amendment
August 1968
by W. H. Auden
The Ogre does what ogres can,
Deeds quite impossible for Man,
But one prize is beyond his reach:
The Ogre cannot master Speech.
About a subjugated plain,
Among the desperate and slain,
The Ogre stalks with hands on hips,
While drivel gushes from his lips.
