I grew up reading comic books wanting to be a superhero. Comics taught me that those who speak the truth are heroes, all the rest are liars.

When The Hammer of Justice Crushes You

While most of the media this week is focus on Kagan's nomination to the Supreme Court and undoubtedly will replay nightly how Elena Kagan crosses her legs, I believe it's too late to turn back from the rash of recent court rulings such as 'corporation rights' and their right to unlimited funding of  political campaigns, to the Supreme Court recently refusing to hear Maher Arar's case.
It's more than obvious that the Supreme court has stripped the justice from the American justice system. Our 'highest court in the land' won't set right any issues unless the partisan puppeteers they are beholding to direct them. 
"My case is unique in the sense that I was the only person who was rendered from US soil. But hundreds of other human beings have been rendered by the CIA and handed over to brutal regimes. No one knows how many of these people have died under torture or completely disappeared. Those of us who were lucky "survived" and were released, but now live with psychological and physical scars."
The Supreme Court has strayed so far from the laws of this land and it's principles of fairness, civil rights, and justice for all, that they won't even make a decision regarding rendering of people on US soil! It's one more sign from the Supreme Court that they are corrupted, poisoned, and fraught with private agendas with Liberty and Justice for only the wealthy white!
