The Supremes should not be above accountability
I think it would behoove us to get some background on the financial interests of the Supremes who just handed the reins of government to the big corps. The scenarios Keith O. alluded to are not in the future. The most critical one happened yesterday with their antidemocratic ruling. I think that all of us who will be affected by this ruling (which means all of us) should know who is pulling their strings. If they're going to legislate from the bench, they should be as accountable to us as our elected representatives.


P.S.: We knew Roberts was lying at his confirmation hearing, and this should have come as no surprise to anyone.

2. Impeach Earl Warren!
Wait, we need him for the JFK Assassination commission. There is no upside for keeping about four of these stooges from the simplest of impeachment proceedings, that is that don't have to caught selling atomic secrets to North Korea(like some GOP folk I could name). Forget about lowering the goal posts. they aren't there anymore except for selectively delusional Dem leaders. Even Obama is more afraid of giving away implicit dictatorial powers than enforcing any sense of law upon criminal predecessors.
