Notice

TO LET YOU KNOW I'm intending to continue with excerpts from Louis Boudin's Government by Judiciary after Easter because the Supreme Court is out of hand, lawless, corrupt and solidly in the hands of increasingly brazenly partisan Republican-fascists and the defective Constitution has no real means of constitutionally forcing them to behave ethically or morally or even lawfully, they are, in fact, a collection of life-time petty monarchs who are a law unto themselves.

The dangers of the Court to equality and even unequal electoral democracy are as serious a danger as the United States has ever faced and part of that serious danger is the fact that alleged liberals and leftists are suckers for what has created that danger and I see no reason to believe that the media will ever alert people to it even as it gets worse and, in fact, deadly.

The media may bewail the part that lies have played in this but their self-interest leads them to discount or ignore the fact that if we allow the mass media, the corporate media to lie with impunity, there is no way to protect equality or democracy as long as the media can lie with impunity.  That is how we got here, starting with the election of 1968, there is a direct line between where we are now and the election of Richard Nixon that year and a line back from the Nixon win that year and the Sullivan Decision of 1964.   The decision that gave the media permission to lie with impunity.
