[inland Democrats] Power held in a single party defines tyranny

 

'The great power grab and all for the 'good' of the people' May 25, 2005

By Jack Dalton

 

I've been sitting here listening to all the nice sounding words spewing forth

from some of our " esteemed " senators over the so-called " agreement " just reached

about judicial nominees, filibusters, and the Trent Lott named, " nuclear option "

to eliminate senate judicial filibusters.

One of 'things' that really stands out to me is simply this: the extreme right

of the Republican Party is not satisfied with " winning " some of the time; is not

satisfied with " winning " the overwhelming majority of the time; the only thing

that will satisfy them is " winning " 100% of the time on every single thing they

want to super-impose upon us all.

Priscilla Owen, William H. Pryor, Janice Rogers Brown (see profiles of these and

other judicial nominees here) all three of whom have been " vigorously " opposed

by senate " democrats " will get now a rubber stamped into a life-time seat on our

federal courts -- oops, their federal courts.

 

From the very start, this was, and still is about a lot more than just these

three or some of the others still waiting in the wings -- all of which it

appears will now " win " senate approval. This is about the vacancies that are

coming up in the Supreme Court. BushCo (my pet name for that marvelous mob of

Mayberry Machiavellis) has had the eye on the Supreme Court for day one.

Gain control of the Supreme Court, control of all three branches of government

will then be complete. You say I am making too much of this? You say I am

pushing a panic button? You say I am taking this too an absurd conclusion?

To those who think or say that I remind them of this:

" The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the

same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary,

self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of

tyranny. " -- James Madison, Federalist Paper 47.

While the specter of what Bill Frist had planned to eliminate the opposition

filibustering judicial nominees was not a good one to contemplate, let alone

have to deal with; the Democratic Party caving in to the extortion is worse.

They thru their " compromise " have helped to insure the completion of the radical

rights three way power grab.

 

This is just one more thing convincing me that we only have one party in this

country with only minor differences in the opposing ends of the same stick --

the one we keep getting in the back. They care more about " preserving the

institution " of the senate than they do about the people whose name they so

freely and constantly invoke. How can giving away the courts be in the " interest

of the American people? "

In 1935, Sinclair Lewis wrote his novel, " It Can't Happen Here. " A " fictional "

account of what amounts to a fascist take-over of this country. I wonder what

the title of a sequel would be if Sinclair Lewis were alive today? " The 15%

Solution: A History of American Fascism, 2001 - 2022 " another fictional account

of the rise of fascism by constitutional means which so perfectly describes this

nation today since 9/11 it is frightening. Especially considering it was written

years before 9/11 ever happened.

 

" Those who believe a police state can't happen here are poor students of

history. Every government, democratic or not, is capable of tyranny. We must

understand this if we hope to remain a free people. " -- Ron Paul, R-Tx, Dec.

2004 -- he's one of the only republicans in congress with some sense of

integrity.

The last thing needed to permanently secure power with some air of internal

legitimacy by Hitler and the Nazis over Germany and the German people were the

courts. These they stacked and then completely took over, and using their

constitution to do it. If you want to secure complete power and control over

that which you govern, control of the courts is an absolute must. This is about

gaining so much power and control everyone will be forced to live according to

the world view these nut jobs have; and they will have the courts to back them

up.

If I sound like someone screaming " the sky is falling " so be it. I just can't

stress the danger we face with this power grab for the courts. There will

nothing to stand between people and government/corporate predators. The very

people that lied this nation into invading Iraq and then lied about lying. These

are the people who determine whom will sit as life-time judges on U.S. federal

courts.

Hello,

 

the courts in Germany are to my opinion also under control.

About one year ago I wrote to a lawyer. I intended to go to court to

show that Psychiatry is obviously in some points against the constitution.

 

The lawyer is already well known in Germany and has written opinions

for the government which were respected.

He refused to help me in my case. I asked him again. Then he answers

that he would get in trouble or even in big trouble when he worked on

such cases.

 

I spoke to a homeless man some years ago who stated to have been in

a good position in the CDU (Geman conservatives)

He told me that he would not support the killings of lawyers which had

happened with the approval of former chancelor Helmut Kohl and the

present chancelor Gerhard Schroeder and that he therefore left his

party.

The man impressed me with his knowledge and abilities to discuss.

 

 

That courts are under political influence is also in Asia. To get their

independence, this means independence police protection, government

independent payment and politicans must not have any influence who is

getting the top positions. There may be more necessities to establish

independent courts.

The same necessities are valid for the police to get more serious about

democracy

There will nothing to stand between people and government/corporate

predators. The very people that lied this nation into invading Iraq and

then lied about lying. These are the people who determine whom will sit

as life-time judges on U.S. federal courts.
