8. The Wheels of Justice Grind Slowly, But They Grind Very Fine

I predict:

Barack H. Obama will become a victim of signing this immoral, illegal usurpation of civil rights, as he will be a victim indefinitely detained, and probably tortured, when the right-wing gets the first opportunity.

Of course, an awful lot of the 99% will be victimized before him.

He thinks he and his will NEVER be threatened. He thinks he is special.

He is special, especially foolish. But then, that is THE defining characteristic of the 1%. He will be lucky if they leave his wife and daughters alone.

You know, being American USED to mean you WERE special. You weren't subject to the kind of abuse that millenia of the 99% were subjected to by their 1%ers. You had rights, and habeas corpus, and the rule of law, and independent judiciary, the right to remain silent, the right to an attorney, the right to trial by a jury of your peers, etc.

He signs this bill, and we have NOTHING. And neither does Barack Obama.
