Mastella has attacked the judges on the tried and trite charges of politicized justice and persecution.
Mastella's resignation opens a grave government crisis.
Mastella resigned his office with an inflamatory speech in the House accusing extremist judges of conspiracy against the higher objectives of the nation.
It all seems well rehearsed. One wonders if it wasn't Mastella in person who arranged the whole show as a convenient excuse to bring down the government.
We will see in the next hours what happens. If Mastella's small party will continue to support the government or not in the Senate. Considering the ovations he received from the right wing, it's doubtful.
In the meantime Cardinal Ruini has called on the faithful to attend next Sunday's Angelicus in St. Peter's Square to testify against the persecution against Catholics in Italy.
I think it's time to ask a certain cardinal to pee in a plastic cup. "Ideas or the lack of them can cause disease." - Kurt Vonnegut
Ms. Lonardo has declared that she's being persecuted for upholding Catholic values. The witch-hunt is on. First the pope, now the Udeur. Tomorrow there'll be bonfires on every corner.
