A Bought-and-Paid-For Court

Ever since the 1994 elections where the GOP was put in charge of the U.S. House, Americans have shot themselves in the ass by putting fascistic or neoliberal politicians in charge of our government. The majority "justices" of the United States Supreme Court have increasingly turned outright partisan and therefore worthless, making up shit decisions as they go along. Whether it is perverting the Second Amendment to think the average citizen has the same right as militias with regard to the "right to bear arms" or assisting a coup attempt (Jones v. Clinton) or violating the separation of powers in picking a president (Bush v. Gore), it is no longer about upholding the law or interpreting the Constitution. It's just another arm for the fascists to control the masses. They don't even pretend to be otherwise anymore.

Not surprisingly, they have NO intention whatsoever of overturning the hideous Citizens United decision legalizing bribery of "elected" officials. This is the Roberts court, which is literally making up shit as it goes along, ignoring precedent and common sense.

Not to mention they don't even pretend to be independent and impartial.

Miscellaneous

Vanity Fair tries to ape the New Yorker.

David Bossie of Citizens United and The Clinton Chronicles infamy will have a new video out just in time for the Democratic Convention. It is about "Obama," of course.

I'd take anything the guy said with a huge grain of salt.
_____

Supposedly the National Enquirer has been stalking John Edwards and claiming he was visiting his "mistress" and "love child."

It smells like bullshit to me, especially given the reports Edwards is on Obama's shortlist for running mate.

Somebody doesn't want Edwards to have a shot.

Besides, where are those pictures?
