Rove, et all: If idealogical Republicans weren't in control of the WH, Congress and Senate he'd be in jail right now, possibly with Libby, and they'd be rolling oper on higher officials (Cheney, maybe) to get reduced sentences (ie: not hung for treason against the state.)
But maybe they'll get a slap on the wrist, then a medal a few months down the line for loyalty to the regime.
Roberts: My gut says he must be rejected. But I admit I know little of him. He needs review/questions.
Roe: Under assault. Not at risk as things stand NOW, but perhaps after 2 new SCOTUS appointees are put in place.
Abu Ghraib pictures: Americans are tired, weary, of unpleasant reminders of the wrongs. Blinders full on. Minor lackys will be punished, higher officers responsible will get off free.
Vote system reforms: The fix is in, and it's NOT a fix for corruptable voting machines.
06 midterm elections: See above.
Alternative energy: Oil blindness will keep alternative development research strangled in the US. Foreign nations, wiser, will surge ahead, while we fight to suck up the last of the oil. When that's gone we will have to buy/beg for emergency solutions. Thus ends our last SuperPower nation status.
Sorry to sound so negative. All this is correctable. But not as long as the current lot remains in power.
