On February 27, this writer's article, titled "America's Supremes: Court Over Constitution" said the following:


In all three branches of government, "America was always ruled by men, not laws, who lie, connive, misinterpret, and pretty much do what they want for their own self-interest and powerful constituents. (Like today), In 1787, "the people" who mattered most were elitists. The American revolution substituted new management for old. Everything changed but stayed the same under:"


-- an illusory democracy;


-- a powerful president; a virtual dictator in times of war;


-- a corrupted Congress representing privilege, not people; and


-- a separate judiciary able (through "judicial review") to overrule Congress and the Executive, but most often goes along; power supports power, the kind today heading America toward tyranny, already well advanced with obliging High Court help.


Other Potential Choices


Merrick B. Garland, Judge on the US Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and Harvard Law grad. He then clerked for Supreme Court Justice William Brennan, briefly served as a Special Assistant US Attorney General before entering private practice, during which time he also worked as an Assistant US Attorney for the District of Columbia. In 1993, he became Deputy Assistant Attorney General in the DOJ's criminal division, and in 1994 principal Associate Deputy US Attorney General.
