That's a very good point. When the leading figures of a branch of government cease to understand that nationbuilding never stops,... well, I guess I can be glad that chance placed me outside of the nation.

The fact is that what we're experiencing right now is a top-down disaster. -Paul Krugman

"nationbuilding"!!

We should be so lucky as to have a Chief Justice who was concerned with such issues as nationbuilding. Roberts concern it to see that any remaining restrictions on the unfettered exercise of corporate power vis a vis the federal government is overturned as expeditiously as possible. He and his four conservative colleagues literally went out of their way to seize upon a rather minor issue and use it to repudiate a century of law. The issue could and should have been decided on much narrower grounds. This was run amok radical conservative judicial activism.

We need billboards saying "Impeach John Roberts!" and the popular attitude to go with the message.

As the Dutch said while fighting the Spanish: "It is not necessary to have hope in order to persevere."
