An ominous silence on the Supreme Court
Justice Elena Kagan should explain why she’s not heeding the calls to recuse herself from the soon-to-be-heard Obama healthcare case.

I guess since it is cool that our Great President can assassinate US citizens without providing any rational, we should expect that it is OK to hold the Supreme Court to that same standard. I have complained about the Supreme Court a time or twain before (see here for instance) and it seems they are perfectly happy ignoring the law of the land (just like the other branches of our government) and doing what they want. From time to time my cynicism ebbs and I start to entertain fantasies that perhaps we won’t come to a dramatic and nasty end, thinking perhaps the ruling oligarchy will choose to return to us the illusion of control and let slip a bit more vertical mobility, but then I read stuff like this and get pulled up short like being smacked in the face by a cold, wet, dead fish. Since our government is so thoroughly corrupt and has so consistently not given a damn about what the sheeple think (of course, why should they since the sheeple will believe whatever they have been told; just yesterday I had a conversation with a couple of friends who have unassailable faith that Obama’s assassination of a US citizen is perfectly justified simply because Obama said he was a terrorist) I just can’t envision a scenario where the oligarchy would care to risk any possible loss in power by any smidgen of reduction in their stranglehold grip on our country.
