Eerie Corelations In Legal Theory (Birthers and Bushies)

[WeDidIt]

I've been looking at the legal arguments being used by the Birthers and was dumbfounded when I realized what they are actually doing.

These "attorneys" (and I do use that term losslely when you look at the tinfoilhat nutters writing briefs and pleadings) most recently used an interpleader, which is normally used in cases involving insurance claims. That was laughed out of court today (See PatGund's thread here). Now they are all using Quo Warranto briefs, which if I'm not mistaken are generally utilized by the justice department against corprate officers when they abuse their powers.

And it finally struck me.

These idiots are approaching the law the same way Yoo and the rest of the Bushies approached the law. They are twisting the basic meaning of existing law in any way convenient to fit the arguments they demand they be able to make, regadless of how illogical and blatantly against existing law.

Chilling how Yoo is now affecting tinfoilhat nutter cases, isn't it?

1. This is what extremists do

They're dangerous people, mentally ill on some level. I started to realize this as I got up to snuff on politics after the 2000 nightmare and 9-11. It wasn't just W the towel snapping frat boy and his VP Dr. Evil, but these insane, extreme people. You have to stand up and counter them as much as possible, all of us in our little worlds, in every way it's possible to do so. I will never be complacent again.
