In fact, to this day I believe an unusually large percentage of appointees in Justice were appointed by Bush.Procopiushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17554355440319405363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856837.post-23124173009009394282016-07-20T17:25:20.009-04:002016-07-20T17:25:20.009-04:00Would carry more weight if Clinton had voted and r...Would carry more weight if Clinton had voted and remonstrated against the bankster bailout in rebellion against regulatory capture.

Unlike the case in many so-called Banana Republics, where it can be routine for new administrations to purge all employees associated with a previous regime, this gives the US gov't both a continuity and - more importantly - a broad institutional knowledge that knows how to get things done and thus prevent chaos from ensuing after every change of administration.<br /><br />Promising to purge the government of people deemed "disloyal" to Trump personally is just one more way Trump's GOP has found to drive this country into the dirt.

Who would ever figure you to be going public with what's essentially a confession.<br /><br />It's like a Marx Brothers version of the old Perry Mason bit: <br /><br />'And I put it to you, witness, that you of all people in the world know the identify of the REAL killer, and that the REAL killer s not my client, Mrs. Biggleswortham at all - but he is right here with us now, in this courtroom'<br /><br />'Yes - YES - it's TRUE! I confess: I DO know the identity of the real killer; it's ... it's ... it's the JUDGE - no, no, no, I'm mistaken: it's ... it's YOU, Perry Mason!''
