1. Sure sign that we need COMPLETE CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM (CCFR)!!!

When you have 2 systems of justice you have a problem, a BIG problem!

4. What's your second choice? You will never get Congress to reform itself.

We are on a course that is getting worse over time with no apparent turn-around in sight.

The Revolution is waiting for the spark.

[Dustlawyer]

10. A fight for CCFR would probably be that spark b/c they will not give up the power!

[rhett o rick]

11. Even more important than CCFR is insuring we have free and fair elections.

If we completely lose that, we are totally lost. Some of us that live in a denial bubble think the Democrats will fight for free and fair elections. Those that want to control the elections are not Republicans, they are the ruling Elite. They own some Democrats as well as all Republicans. We cant sit back and hope the Democratic Party will save us.

I think the Rubicon is free and fair elections. Once they cross that, there is no turning back, it's revolution.

2. We have heard the phrase "too big to fail"

now its "too big to be arrested." The system is rigged for the upper 1%.

Maybe we do need Robocops!

7. The whole collateral consequences doctrine is...

beyond troubling.
Not that there hasn't been a tiered justice system in this country, but I think the wealth and political classes have so used to it that they are letting it all hang out.
That either means they forgot that they needed to conceal it from the rest of us or, what worries me, that they have captured the system to such an extent that they don't need to hide it anymore.

8. Enter California's Attorney General, Kamala Harris.

I don't know how far A.G. Harris will get with this approach, but I wish her luck.

The discovery will be horrendous. But as A.G., Kamala Harris can hold a metaphorical bat over these guys' heads (maybe). Sorry if that violent image is a bit too much, but it's going to take something like that just to get the bankers to produce all the relevant documents in enough time to use them in court.

Good Luck, A.G. Kamala Harris. The world is watching you.

(And maybe Matt Taibbi will write on what happens.)
