the Meirs nomination is not about ideology

[leftofthedial]

it is the bushturd trying to pack the court with his friends to ensure:

1. future SCOTUS-sanctioned coups
2. the bushturd's own ass will be sparedafter he is acquitted
3. personal favors to help Carlyle and Halliburton's continue generating illegal profits for a generation into the future.

[ClassWarrior]

1. Yup. If it's ideological, the ideology is corporatism.

NGU.

[sandnsea]

3. No kidding

The power from controlling the money is all they care about. They use the fundies, they don't really care about religion.

[MrBenchley]

2. No shit?

Nexe you'll tell us she has ties to the Republican party.

"the bushturd's own ass will be sparedafter he is acquitted"
Tell us, what happened to that guy Nixon.

[leftofthedial]

5. Nixon didn't have a Repuke congress and a Repuke SCOTUS

and a slave media

he knew his ass was goners

[MrBenchley]

8. And he didn't get convicted

and it didn't matter...

4. Corporatists finance candidates from both major parties for

our Senate and House of Representatives and pass bipartisan laws that reduce their taxes on estates, personal income, corporations, and dividends and pass other laws favorable to multinational corporations.

The best way to guarantee laws favorable to Corporatists are not ruled unconstitutional is to stack the Supreme Court with justices who support the Corporatists’ agenda. Miers’ has extensive experience acting for corporations and she along with Chief Justice Roberts create a very favorable climate for Corporatists who appeal cases to their Supreme Court.

6. I don't think it is as much that

(although that is certainly true)

as it is purely personal lust for power, greed and self preservation

[jody]

11. Unchecked "lust for power, greed" ends with all wealth controlled by a few

[cassiepriam]

7. It is about : a get out of jail card for Bush, and corp $$$

[Tennessee Gal]

9. I agree.

Bush knows many in his administration are in deep trouble if Fitzgerald does his job. He needs a packed court to get them off.

[cassiepriam]

10. Or in the next crooked election SC pals rule in repug favor.

The best crooks don't break the law, they make it.
