“Members of class-action lawsuits increasingly are receiving little, if any, compensation from the cases, while their teams of lawyers are making millions of dollars in legal fees. For example, plaintiffs who filed a suit against movie-rental company Blockbuster Inc. were each issued two movie-rental coupons and a $1 coupon in the settlement. Their attorneys received $9.25 million.”

And the Democrats are pushing a trial lawyer for the office of Vice President. Anyone doubt on where this country is headed?

WASHINGTON, DC—In a historic decision with major implications for the future of U.S. participatory democracy, the Supreme Court ruled 8-1 Monday that the American people are unfit to govern.

The controversial decision, the first of its kind in the 210-year history of U.S. representative government, was, according to Justice David Souter, "a response to the clear, demonstrable incompetence and indifference of the current U.S. citizenry in matters concerning the operation of this nation's government."

As a result of the ruling, the American people will no longer retain the power to choose their own federal, state, and local officials or vote on matters of concern to the public.


SATIRE folks....but awfully close to reality.
