US Supreme Court's power grab/ Law is politics/Flexibility of tactics

[Max Sawicky]

CB:
"The Left should be furiously producing arguments and feelings that help to
make the current events the basis for delegitimizing the Bush regime as much
as possible. We should not be passive in the face of Wall Street Journal
polls which are aimed at influencing public opinion in exactly the opposite
manner that I say here. We should seek to build sentiment against the
Supreme Court power move and the Bush presidency.

Arguments against Gore and Clinton are very untimely now. . . .

Suppose Gore and Clinton oppose the delegitimization
of Bush and the S. Ct.?  Do you doubt that, at some
point when Bush's accession becomes an obvious
inevitability, they will do just that?  Goo-goo
arguments for better voting machines and procedures
are not a substitute for your recommendation.

What is the political message of defending someone
who declines to defend themselves?

Come January 20, the only critic of the U.S. political
system will be Ralph Nader.  The other guys will be
calling for unity, "for the good of the country."
