It’s clear now that, Warren’s intelligence & integrity notwithstanding, the important questions leading to fundamental reform & restoring the Constitution will never be asked because answered truthfully, they would mortally threaten the oligarchy of political power & financial interests in control of the system.

If there was any question how this was going to play out, Obama’s very first appointment of Rahm Emmanuel was the writing on the wall.

The just released OLC torture memos show the depths to which this nation has descended during Cheney’s reign of terror. We have a war criminal sitting on the federal 9th circuit bench rather than in prison for life. Karl Rove, Newt Gingrich & Rush Limbaugh speak through a complicit media with the statesman-like authority in opposition to anything Obama proposes. Southern Methodist University has won the honor of hosting the G. W. Bush Center for Revisionist History & War Criminal Reputation Rehabilitation.

We have huge financial corporations reporting massive first quarter profits while they’ve received billions to shore up their capital bases, foisted billions in worthless defaulted assets on the Treasury, borrowed billions more at virtually zero interest from the Fed while lending out more than a trillion at 15% to 30% on revolving credit card debt, and have been granted special accounting rule changes making it easier to falsify their real financial condition. And soon, we will be treated to another kabuki dance of stress test manipulation vindicating the last ten years’ and next four years of failed policies.

With the deck stacked so egregiously in favor Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan/Chase, Citi, B of A, Wells Fargo, etal. at the expense of another ten trillion in federal debt and the savaging of our Main Street economy, even I could make a billion dollars a quarter with 40 to 1 leverage on my invested capital under these loser take all conditions.

I wonder if any divergence of the background of a Congressman compared to the demographic of their state/district is traceable over time.
