Judicial Manchurian candidates?

Last edited Fri Jun 6, 2014, 02:39 PM - Edit history (1)

Scary stuff. Bright, upcoming judicial students being groomed by the right for judicial spots so that their ideology is protected, encouraged and nourished. The aim-turn America into a theological state.

"Imagine that a little-known but increasingly powerful group of ideologues had hatched a plan to transform the United States into a Christian theocracy harkening back to the Dark Ages of Europe, a time when society was governed by the laws and officials of the Catholic Church.

Suppose further that this plan had a scary simple strategy: Recruit bright, young law students; put them through an intensive indoctrination program; place them in plum internships across the country; and watch as they swim upstream until they reach the top of the legal system, where they can create, enforce, and interpret laws according to a legal philosophy infused with fundamentalist Christian theology"

I'm not much on conspiracy theories, but this is really long-term Chinese 100 year planning stuff.
