Four Judges Of The Apocalypse And The Permanent "State Of Exception"

Antonin Scalia and police-state rule

"On June 12 the United States Supreme Court, by a 5-to-4 vote, ruled that so-called “enemy combatants” held at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba have the right to challenge their detention in US courts.

Many of the inmates have been held for six years at Guantánamo, under barbaric conditions. None of them have been found guilty of a crime in a court of law.

The four dissenting Supreme Court justices, John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas and Joseph Alito, defend the right of the Bush administration to proceed in its “war on terror” with utter disregard for the Constitution and elementary democratic rights. They are, in essence, proponents of authoritarian rule. The savagery at Guantánamo is not a source of shame or even concern for them, but the wave of the future."

In essence the dissenting judges believe in an all powerful executive branch who has the right to sweep away all established legal codes at his discretion. This was the reason that in the days after committing 9/11 every one of the co conspirators in this foul administration stressed again and again that we were now at war with their phony boogiemen, because with that "exception" designation they would have justification in eviscerating constitutional restrictions on their behavior.

With this court ruling re affirming habeas corpus by one solitary vote, the fascists lost one of the final nails they wanted to put in the coffin of a constitutional republic. Look for their plan B - another 9/11 caliber disaster to put the country back into the requisite frame of mind to allow them to finish their filthy agenda. It's almost a certainty now.
