- NYT Lock and Load - Supreme Court Ruling on Gun Rights
  Posted by Jeff from New York Times
  That last part is the final indignity of the decision: when the justices go to work at the Supreme Court, guns will still be banned. When most Americans show up at their own jobs, they will not have that protection. This audaciously harmful decision, which hands the far right a victory it has sought for decades, is a powerful reminder of why voters need to have the Supreme Court firmly in mind when they vote for the president this fall. Senator John McCain has said he would appoint justices like Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito - both of whom supported this decision. If the court is allowed to tip even further to the far right, there will be even more damage done to the rights and the safety of Americans.

- Wolfowitz and Washington's Abuse of Global Institutions

  "Amidst the nepotism and unconditional protection of its members, the United States governing elite take advantage of their position within international agencies and, worse still, they have dispensed business opportunities built on the destruction, ruin and death in Iraq."

- Bush and His Dangerous Delusions
  Posted by Damianmann from Consortiumnews
  Here's an editorial about our delusional "leader". It's a sad, scary, world we're living in. But, I'm not sure HIS world is the same one.

- War on Iraq: I Was A PR Intern in Iraq
  Posted by Jeff from Alternet
  In this astonishing confessional by an Oxford graduate who worked in the green zone of Baghdad, we see the perversity of the American version of a 'free press' in Iraq.

- The Clean Green Party (1 Letter)
  Posted by Damianmann from New York Times
  Without the Greens, voters face years of dreary variations on Bush vs. Kerry. Electing a few Greens to Congress would shock Democrats into stronger opposition to the Republican agenda and strengthen the movement for conservation and other steps necessary to stem global warming.

- Robert Dreyfuss _ Iraq War, Round Two
  Posted by Damianmann from Truth Out
  Missing from the discussion over Iraq in the United States is the growing likelihood that the Bush administration will escalate, not de-escalate, the war. If they do, their goal will be to employ another round of "shock and awe" - namely, massive U.S. military air and ground" - in a desperate effort to tip the balance in Iraq in America's favor in advance of the 2006 elections. The failed war in Iraq is overwhelmingly the key factor driving down poll numbers for the president, vice president and the Republican Party in general.

- Deterring Common Sense
  Posted by Billbar from Washington Post
  It is easy to propose stupid laws and difficult to improve a system. There are votes and acclaim in the former, little of either in the latter. Some politicians cannot be deterred.

An extremely well written argument against yesterday’s right-wing ruling on the Court.
