No More Equivocation

Well, it looks like I need no longer consider my comparisons exaggeration — the Republican party (or at least the leadership thereof) has decided to stop pretending they’re not fascists.

Tom DeLay is spearheading legislation to remove from the courts altogether the authority to enforce the Constitution. As far as DeLay’s concerned, the Constitution is null and void — after all, if nobody has the authority to even hear cases about Constitutional violations, how is there any way to actually enforce that outdated piece of scrap paper?

As of tomorrow, it’s entirely possible that DeLay will have successfully staged the coup d’état he’s been working on for so long.

There’s a word for people like DeLay, and I’m not going to shy away from using it.

Traitor.
