Leahy Barking Up the Decidership

Senator Patrick Leahy is apparently unable to process reality,
as he believes Congress actually retains a modicum of power in
the District of Criminals. “Leahy returned to Washington
from vacation Monday to urge the White House to respond to his
committee’s subpoenas seeking information about [the neocon
NSA snoop program]. He said he is disappointed that the administration
did not make the deadline but he is open to negotiations,”
reports the Chicago
Tribune. In other words, Mr. Leahy may as well whistle in
the wind, as the neocons, proponents of an unanswerable decidership—along
the lines of Nazi jurist Carl Schmitt’s Die Diktatur—plan
to ignore all subpoenas as they work their way toward their own
Article 48 provision (the German constitution contained this provision,
allowing Hitler to declare state of emergency and presidential
rule by executive order).
“I prefer cooperation to contempt,” said Leahy. “I’ll
have no hesitation voting for contempt, if that’s what it
takes. But ultimately, what we have to find out is what happened
here. We can carry out a court battle for the next five or six
years, or we can find out what happened.”
(Article continues below)
It should be obvious, even to Leahy, “what happened”—the
neocons are well along in transforming a former constitutional
republic into a dictatorship, albeit in its current form sans
brown shirts and shock troops marching on cobblestone with hobnailed
boots. The NSA snoop program is but one aspect of the neocon dictatorship.
The so-called National
Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive, roundly
ignored by the corporate media, is as sincerely portentous, allowing
die Führer Bush to declare a “Catastrophic Emergency”
in the same fashion Roman dictators declared justitium and the
Nazis implemented Article 48, resulting in Gleichschaltung, a
system of totalitarian control.
It is interesting Leahy characterizes the office of Dick Cheney,
where the neocon infestation began, as “some kind of fourth
branch of government,” according to the New
York Times. Old habits and perceptions, one can only assume,
die hard, as the neocon decidership is in actuality the only branch
of government. One can almost hear the words of Joseph Goebbels
after Hitler imposed the Enabling Act: “The authority of
the Führer has now been wholly established. Votes are no longer
taken. The Führer decides. All this is going much faster than
we had dared to hope.”
Of course, it is not going fast enough for the neocons, who have
an ambitious agenda—murderous hegemony abroad, especially
in the Muslim Middle East, and dictatorship at home, the latter
with an effective control grid designed to ferret out opponents
of the former. One need only listen to the rallying cry of the
Machiavellian and “universal” fascist Michael
Ledeen, who often declares: “Faster, Please,”
especially when it comes to mass murdering Arabs and Muslims.
