It's the coup, stupid . . .

Chris Floyd has an insightful post on John Roberts, the new Supreme Court nominee, over at Empire Burlesque. Spotty recommends it hightly.

The gist of the post is a description of Judge Roberts' role, as a memeber of the DC Curcuit, in permitting the rolling coup d'etat of the Bush administration. In particular, the post describes last week's decision that permits the continuation of military tribunals at Gitmo.
