Our only lone faint dimming remaining glimmer of a hope is that judges - even hardright judges appointed by this cabal - just HATE being given the back of the hand. Some might even stand up to them ... and it only takes just a few. Once ONE OF THEIR OWN rules against this criminal junta, even the others will likely support that ruling because the judiciary is very insular, very "clubby". When Suzanne was with the Prosecutor's Office, we were for a time part of that club, socializing with judges and prosecutors. It is a different world, and one that the Bushies will deeply regret antagonizing.


You can NOT tell a federal judge what he can and cannot review. They can review any damn thing they want. In our system, they have very nearly dictatorial power - though they are loath to push it too far. I hope, I dearly hope those arrogant Bushies try again to push this judge around and marginalize him. Please, please, PLEASE treat him with contempt! Oh, PLEASE.
