A very polite, "please remove yourself from the proceedings Mr. Alito" would have been fine. Hopefully every republican right wing troglodyte would have followed Sammy out. The atmosphere would have improved enormously. Like when a fat guy with uncontrollable flatulence leaves the party, and everyone can breathe through their noses again.
It's obvious to almost anyone that U.S. interests have stopped reflecting the will of its citizens. Corporate management of government has reached its inevitable and ultimate point with the phony Supreme Court eager willingness to be an accessory.
A nation of wealth, fortune and generosity, has become a grasping, clawing monstrosity, that must ravage the planet and exploit its people if its questionable wealth is to be maintained. Kindness, compassion, forgiveness and respect, have died the slow attritional death that corporate displacement of government demands. The corporate monster insidiously ate away at the democratic institutions that once symbolized the farthest point that humankind has ever aspired to, and for a brief moment, may have almost reached. A nation, staggering under the repeated blows that forced it from greatness, has been swept up and dropped in the trash compliments of the men who can never have enough, and can never recognize themselves as the subhuman evil they are.
After Obama it must be accepted that no contemporary member of government, whether national, state or local, will ever rise to the occasion of delivering democracy from those whose endless appetites are never satisfied. A leader who could inspire Americans to believe in themselves and their nation again is almost by necessity someone who would have to drop from the sky, unannounced and unexpected.
The plutocracy would be the first to recognize the threat, and the corporate oligarchy would react in kind. Americans might experience a nationwide revelation that a leader may actually exist, and Americans may recognize one when they see one. They will react as all people will when such a leader comes into their midst, and the cards get reshuffled and the jokers removed. The Supreme Court has drawn the proverbial line in the sand. In its arrogance and contempt it does not expect Americans to have the courage, or the love of country, to step over that line.
