Welcome to the Constitutional Crisis.

Thanks cargoweasel

Over on The Daily Kos, Stirling Newberry has pulled the disparate threads of current events into a cohesive structure. I've been trying to say essentially this for a while now, but I lack the eloquence and the historical-political savvy to really make sense of it all.

This is long, but well worth the time and energy.

I should also note that the push for more expansive, more stringent, more abusive copyright law, so well documented in Cory Doctorow's postings at BoingBoing, fit perfectly into Newberry's thesis of the push toward a "top down" economy.
