Civil Liberties Watch

In the wake of tragedy, some legislators in Washington are about to come up with a package of what to seems to be, at first glance, authoritarian and draconian criminal justice legislation. These bills may have been thought out in some form long ago by these legislators, and now they think 2010 is the right year to come out with their authoritarian ideas. "Commons" hasn't read any of the pre-session bills (just read previews of them), and not every bill in the hopper today or being considered is necessarily authoritarian (some may actually be sensible and needed), but along with the American Civil Liberties Union, we will be keeping a close watch on what's going on in Olympia.

Caucus of Shills

The so-called Congressional black caucus is one of the biggest frauds in America, as practically all of its members, with maybe a handful of exceptions, are corporate shills that do the bidding of corporations, interventionists and internationalists.  These are the same congresspersons that are some of the biggest promoters of globalism that takes away jobs and opportunities from citizens, and dramatically drives up housing costs for ordinary citizens.  But they're not worried, because their extravagant congressional salaries and perks, along with the incumbency election racket, protects them from such economic jolts as fierce competition for jobs from non-citizens and thousand dollar-a-month rents.  If every last one of them were defeated in the November election, the Americans that this caucus identifies with would be hard put to notice the difference.
