"My name is Jeffrey Deskovic. At age 17, I was wrongfully convicted of murder and rape, a conviction that was based upon a coerced, false confession, the fabrication of evidence, prosecutorial misconduct and fraud by a medical examiner. I was cleared 16 years later -- almost three years ago -- when DNA evidence proved my innocence, while also identifying the real perpetrator, who subsequently confessed to the crime. Since my release, I have made it my life's mission to battle against wrongful convictions and fight for legislation that would minimize the chances of what happened to me happening to someone else. It is this fight that compels me to speak out about Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor."

It's strange how quiet the passionate advocates of freedom were during Bush's reign and Guantanamo. I rather suspect that what we are seeing is nothing other than misguided Far Right malcontents. I will reiterate my point.

The elite ruling America have an arsenal of mechanisms by which to rule said malcontents; the Dems are one of them. Said elite are astute enough to have secured the levers of power over said malcontents and if one follows the logic of the free market to its limit, they have proven themselves the fittest.

"Power comes out of the end of a gun"

There is no free market in the real world. Such things exist only in textbooks and the speeches of politicians.
