It's absolutely terrible that every branch of the government has been compromised except the courts and now we are relying on them more and more to affect policy. With the other 2 branches able to determine who sits on the bench I feel it's only a matter of time before the courts won't even bother to defend our interests.
Yes, but what we have is a batshit, crazy legislative branch and a Newspeak executive branch. Compared to the other 2 the courts have the dubious distinction of being the least likely to ride roughshod over the Bill of Rights.
I didn't mention Big Brother you did. I'm speaking of the fact that the Obama administration says one thing while doing another. Saying they'll back off from medical marijuana dispensaries and then go full hilt on raiding them. Saying they'll do a serious investigation into the lead up to the Iraq War then sweeping it under the bridge. In fact, with the warrantless wiretaps, broad surveillance powers, and continuation of Bush laws that he promised to repeal, maybe Big Brother is apt for this administration.
And God forbid we get an actual, real criminal investigation into the financial crisis.
