I really do believe that even amongst the lead Democrats, that there isn't enough conviction to support prosecution of Bush and Cheney. It would require an honesty from the media about reporting what those two have done behind the scenes to change public opinion, and I don't see any reason why the media would suddenly become honest brokers now.
I sense that what happened during Reagan's time, is about to happen again. They're going to get all sentimental and weepy and claim that everything they did was for the good of this nation; or that Bush really was too dumb to understand that he was being advised incorrectly. I think that's why the media and the Republicans are changing their stance after the Alito vote and are acting shocked, SHOCKED, that the Democrats are combative. They want to dilute the backlash that is about to descend.
What's wrong with this? The fact that if laws are applied differently in this country, it will reinforce the air of arrogance amongst privileged groups which got us where we are today. And it's happened before. I truly believe things developed as they did because we didn't have the resolve to throw the book at Reagan and Bush in the 80s and that if Bush and Cheney prevail, it will reinforce the political corruption at the local and state level, where it originated in the first place. From there it will grow again and another scandal will resurface ten years from now when the Republicans try their shenanigans again.
Does anybody else see it any different?
