This may not be as bad as we're all envisioning.
Stop and think for a moment: The SCOTUS surely knows more than we do about the ETF papers. Now, I'm not saying that to excuse their decision, but rather to explain it.
Perhaps the infomation contained within those documents really are explosive- so very explosive that the SCOTUS reasonably foresaw violence and civil unrest were the information to be disclosed to the public right now.
Maybe, just maybe, the SCOTUS is taking a "wait and see" attitude re "F-9/11". Maybe they're thinking that if the heat is turned to the right temperature, Bush* and his cabal will be cooked in a much more civilized manner.
Consider for a moment that the SCOTUS did not dismiss the case outright, as it could have done. That it failed to rule itself on such a matter, instead punting it back to a lower court, leaves open the possibility that this issue will be resolved after Bush* and his cabal are gone; this would bolster the case against him after he leaves.
Please, people, keep in mind that our elected officials and our courts are put in place to first and foremost protect the Constitution and the people. If that protection includes keeping certain documents out of public view that would only inflame the passions on both sides of the political spectrum, so be it. For now.
This isn't as obvious a slap in the face to the people and accountability as it might seem. If those documents really are as damaging as we all believe they are, hell, it could well spark a civil war- something nobody wants. Far better to let a film spark it in a quieter, more controlled, legal manner. By all accounts, there's an awful lot of evidence contained in F-9/11- likely enough to sink Bush's* election chances.
Does anyone here really think Bush* will last past the election? Does anyone here really think the next admin would allow those documents to remain secret? Does anyone here realize SCOTUS could reverse itself on this decision after the election- after Bush* has lost?
On one hand, they're all corrupt. On the other, they're making a very devious ploy, taking the chance that releasing these documents would cause everything to fall apart in an uncontrolled manner. Which is true has yet to be settled; that issue isn't yet closed.
Some foods you have to boil; others, you can't, or it'll destroy the meal. I'd rather have a controlled simmer until cooked than a rolling boil that gets my stove all wet on this one.
