Today, the Republican-led Senate Judiciary Committee approved Alito's nomination to the Supreme Court. Although the full Senate will get a chance to vote on the recommendation, it is merely a formality. It is a done deal. Political ponerology in action.
With this Republican decision, the country moves one step closer to having the Supreme Court be nothing more than a rubber stamp for executive branch policies and decisions. It will not be long before the ideological line separating the presidency and a dictatorship fades, leaving the difference to mere semantics.
But, lest we lose all hope, there are some who are taking it upon themselves to express their right to privacy. Exercise your free speach NOW, while it still exists. In the not too distant future, the price of free speech will be the entry of all personal information into government databases. Breaches of privacy which would cause our fore-fathers, if they were alive today, to call for another revolution against a tyrannical government.
