Has Obama managed to appoint his judges? There is no accountability, that's the problem...it's an extention of the mind set that said torture was useful, necessary and moral. Inside out reichwingers

The question is why? Is it because our government and institutions are being undermined and dismantled by the right? The Oligarchs? I can't help but feel we are under attack from within.
