Impeachment !
Meanwhile, the five troglodyte Supreme Court Justices who mandated a fascist political regime
George W. Bush and Dick Cheney et al were not impeached for their crimes
– however, responsibilty for their acts of treason and murder and willful violations
of the Geneva Conventions does NOT expire due to any Statutes of Limitation.
here in the United States by their 17 January 2010 ruling in the
Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, 558 U.S. case
(and who also belong to both the Federalist Society and the P.N.A.C. conspiracy)
are now candidates for the constitutional process of Impeachment
– and especially Clarence Thomas for his public G.O.P. fundraising in 2010.

 | "The Five Thousand Year Leap: 28 Great Ideas That Changed The World" [1980] by W.
