The ruling cabal of the coup d'etat seeks to consolidate power

make no mistake...

[T]he larger significance of the Times bashing is that it marks the opening of a decisive phase in the Bush administration’s long campaign to lock in a revised version of the American constitutional system, in effect putting Bush’s national security judgments beyond question and outside any meaningful oversight.

The Republicans are now looking toward November with increasing hope that the elections will consolidate GOP control of Congress and thus put Bush in position to stack the U.S. Supreme Court with right-wing jurists before the end of his second term. The court would then almost certainly endorse Bush’s claims to broad authoritarian powers.

In essence, Bush has asserted that for the duration of the indefinite “war on terror,” he or another President can assert the “plenary” – or unlimited – powers of commander in chief and thus negate all other powers granted to Congress, the courts or the people.

media-bashing also serves as a magnificent distraction from the constitutional destruction taking place before our very eyes... we should be marching in the streets but, no... it's daily life as usual... the plan is working... soon our cherised system of government will be history - if it's not already...
