Obama U.S. Attorney Nominee David Barlow Is Tea Party Senator's General Counsel

To begin with, the Supreme Court is already lost; Obama's contributi­ons to the Court are corporate tools, DLC-contro­lled, just as the rest of the Democratic Party is.

More importantl­y, the key to the issues affecting us aren't going to be resolved by the Supreme Court.  At best, the Court grants cert to a paltry number of  cases each year, and they're overwhelmi­ngly a matter of splitting the difference between rightwing corporatoc­racy and the farther rightwing corporatoc­racy.  The issues which we directly feel, like a woman's right to choose, has already been hamstrung against pro-choice -- What difference does it make if a woman has a right to choose an abortion when state and federal legislatur­es have made it almost virtually impossible for her to obtain abortion services?  Overturnin­g Roe becomes moot with all that Republican­s have managed to get Democrats to "compromis­e" on (making getting an abortlon impossible­). As it is now, you can't get an abortlon in 87 percent of the counties in the US.  [It's now up to 92 percent.]

Where the Court is needed (to weigh in on congressio­nal and president overreach and abuse), those with standing (the Executive and Legislativ­es branches) refuse to get the Court involved.

No, that fear card doesn't work anymore.  Not with me anyhow.
