US Supreme Court's power grab (was Re: Query)

[Max Sawicky]

NEWMAN! scolds Dough:
" . . . Sometimes folks idea of strategy is amazingly impoverished, as if
all it takes it one more mindless left riot to attain the revolution.   The
left
forces have conducted mass meetings in Miami and mass rallies in
Tallahassee, but the media has largely refused to cover them most of the
time.  But this fight is not defined just by what the mass media says but
how folks are communicating by meeting, by phone, by email and by community
newspaper.

Maybe more mass action would have helped or maybe it would have just
encouraged the media to increase the volume of calls for Gore to concede to
stop the riots in the streets.  The fact is that the progressive forces have
seized the high ground in this fight which is not a terrible thing to take
out of this fight. . . "

Pretty cagey strategy.  You've got them right where you
want them.  If you had any more of the upper hand, we
could see GB crowned Emperor for Life.

There is a long distance between a popular mobilization
and a "riot."  The AFL had a demo outside the Sup Ct
this a.m. but nobody is calling it a riot.

This Dem Party non-campaign on behalf of popular suffrage
that you embrace points up the limits of this maneuver.
It's not a strategy or commitment.  It's a tactic with
the projected life-span of a fruit fly.  In fact, it may
be over before you finish reading this sentence.
