Most Important Political Battle Since Reagan/Bush
Dante's area of interest since ages ago...how the right wing and free marketeers of faux libertarianism (Federalist Society and people like C. Boyden Gray), decided to take over the levers of power in the USA.
Go after the ABA, while stacking the federal bench with what were then considered u 'll tra conservative judges who had one thing in common...deregulation and a minimalist view of government. One mask these bastards used was a plan to revive the tired old, consistently defeated states rights arguments.
Another thing was how to keep far right social and religious reactionaries in a coalition ... ever wonder why the real GOP battles that win are the economic and regulation ones, and not the social or religious ones?
The elite and powerful will go to the mat on this one...money and true power is at stake.
Watch the bs spin about 'stacking' the court. Filling DC circuit seats as is the President's prerogative for ages, is not akin to fDR's attempt to grow and stack the SCOTUS. watch the spin and bs
Stacking the federal bench and discrediting the ABA allowed these elite creeps to win no matter what party won the White House. After President Carter, every President got to pick SCOTUS appointees from an increasingly tilted right, federal bench
One of the most bitter partisan fights awaiting the Senate on its return from recess will be President Obama's push to appoint three new judges to the country's most influential appeals court.
Obama and Senate Democrats say the nominees to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit are needed to fill out its 11-member bench and restore balance to a court that has been dominated by Republican appointees.
But a close look at rulings over the last year in the environmental, energy and conservation realm shows that the administration -- and in particular, U.S. EPA -- has fared well at the D.C. Circuit.
