CRONYISM

 


George Offerman


Headlines on many news sites are reporting the just released e-mails sent by then Solicitor General Kagan to Professor Lawrence tribe concerning the Health care bill: “I hear they have the votes, Larry!!  Simply amazing” this is a very telling admission to her bias towards this law, and now that it is in the Supreme Court’s docket, ‘Justice’ Kagan needs to recuse herself from this case.  (But I would bet my next 100 paychecks this will not happen).

The following is a regulation that clearly mandates behaviors of Justices if a conflict of interest arises:

According to 28 USC 455, a Supreme Court justice must recuse from “any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.” The law also says a justice must recuse anytime he has “expressed an opinion concerning the merits of the particular case in controversy” while he “served in governmental employment.”

For anyone paying attention to the preceding hearings and subsequent elevation of Kagan to the Supreme Court, this should come as no surprise.  It should also be of concern for those who call themselves Christian and pro life, that this woman will rule on a law that is immoral as well as unconstitutional in that it mandates a citizen to purchase a service from another or a corporation.  It is the epitome of collectivism and is another step towards this one world order Obama and his cronies are pushing us into.

It is so amazing that not many of our fellow citizens care about this.  Unfortunately, it is also no surprise, and when all hell breaks lose in health care, there will be no one to blame but themselves.  Too many people in the health care field have been blowing the trumpet in warning, but too few listened.  Many who did have concerns stated “It seems illegal, so the court will strike it down”.  That is just another attempt at pedaling off responsibility onto another’s shoulders, and leads to a very dangerous precedent, in allowing a select few, or ‘elites’ to make decisions for the masses.

One can grow weary from fighting and warning against the constant barrage of rights taken away with little help from fellow citizens.  It seems that after awhile, people stop listening and want to go off into their own dream world, and leave the mess for someone else to clean up.  The problem is, then those who want to clean up the mess, put all their buddies into positions of power, and soon, it becomes such a corrupt system that no one can get out of it without selling out their soul to them.

These people are not going to stop until they get what they want: total control over every aspect of our lives.  If it takes cronyism, then they will do it.  Conflicts of interest will occur everywhere, and the elites will continue stacking the deck against the masses until they get what they want.  Because they are getting so close to their ultimate control, it seems they don’t even care if anyone notices, because it is getting to the point that the masses will not be able to do anything about this cronyism.

What a sad state of affairs things are in now.  We have had such an escalation of lawlessness and blatant disregard for proper procedure that is acculturated into the psyche of the masses.  It seems very few even care anymore, and would rather concentrate on football and Survivor than their own survival and well being of their families.  I can imagine that soon, we will be very aware of this loss of freedom, but by then it may be too late.
