The bagman in action

New Chief Justice John Roberts stepped forward Wednesday as an aggressive defender of federal authority to block doctor-assisted suicide

Remember, there are no inalienable rights in Imperial America, and the B*sh junta's hand-picked mouthpieces will make absolutely sure that nobody will be allowed to entertain any illusions about it. Oh, yeah, and the right to abortions? They're gone, baby; being able to use federal authority to block things the religious right finds personally objectionable means that repealing Roe v. Wade means the end of legal abortions everywhere in this benighted country.

And just think how easy it will be to strip those pesky rights away when the Coward in Chief has appointed his second bagman to the USSC, giving him four "justices" who would not vote to convict even if he dismembered and ate a baby in the witness box.
