Okay, now after reading and reading and reading ad nauseam in the Blogosphere, I have decided that there is not much to be done about Black Tuesday except to forge on. As members of the loyal opposition it will be our place to disallow the "triangulation" of Compassionate Conservatism (I'm still a little unclear about what that is). My biggest fear, is that the Dems in the Senate do not take any principled stands against any Judicial Nominations that might push us towards National Socialism West...something that seems to be happening more and more with the Dim Son Administration. How long will it be before a right-wing Fascist Judiciary, with no checks and balances imposed on it other than end-of-their-natural-life-tenure moves to legalize Nacht und Nebel in Amerika? Shit, it's already halfway built into that abomination the Patriot Act, and our boy John "Himmler" Ashcroft, won't even meet the minimum reporting requirements to Congress that the Act provides for by statute.
All other things being equal, I have a hard time believing that the DS Administration will be able to overreach too far in any one area, except this if they are watched. To stop this group of thugs at 1600 Pennsylvannia Ave from going too far, it will be up to the remaining sitting Democratic Senators to keep the faith and the benches of our courts Right Trash free zones...
