Back by popular demand. The book BuzzFlash put on the map in 2001.

With the ongoing crisis of America being held hostage by a rogue, runaway executive branch, we thought it was time to return to the scene of the original crime that made this horror possible: the theft of an election from the American people by five members of the Supreme Court.

It may be January of 2007 when we write this updated commentary on Vincent Bugliosi's indictment of the Supreme Court coup leaders, which Molly Ivins (now seriously ill with a relapse of cancer) called the "J'Accuse" of the new millenium, but we are not getting over it.

How can you get over a man who lost a presidential election by more than 540,000 votes acting like a dictator for six years -- and doing everything in his power to build the institutional constructs of fascism?

As a Washington Post columnist (Andrew Cohen) noted on January 26: "Over the past few years, whenever the White House has seen or sensed trouble looming for its most controversial and tenuous positions in the legal war on terrorism, it has suddenly changed course, altered the playing field, or unilaterally declared itself beyond the purview of the prevailing rule of law. No legal defeats for this administration, no explicit concession of limits on its authority, just a series of tactical or strategic retreats that allow it to show to the world a visage of supreme executive branch power-- while at the same time allowing it at some future date to advance the same losing arguments. And all of it is done in secret, under the cloak of national security, so as to hide not just true secrets but embarrassing facts and legal opinions."

There are terrorists in the world, but Bush and Cheney are not conducting a war against terrorism. They are conducting a war on democracy, a war against the will of the American people, a war against the truth.

In a January 26, 2007, Associated Press article, Nino "The Fixer" Scalia is quoted as dismissing those who believe democracy was stolen. "It's water over the deck — get over it," Scalia said on January 23, 2007.

Several years ago, BuzzFlash offered Prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi's vital legal critique of the Supreme Court action that gave birth to this Bastard regime. We also interviewed Bugliosi, who -- interestingly enough -- was the lead prosecutor in the Charles Manson case.

Now, with the ongoing runaway administration steaming ahead toward Armageddon, it is important to read this book to remember that all of this current horror and destruction of democracy came about as the result of a partisan crime sanctioned by 5 members of America's top court.

It is both fitting and appropriate that the felonious Supreme Court five grace the cover of "The Betrayal of America" in the form of mugshots.

But we were the ones mugged by their theft of democracy.

Bugliosi dissects what the felonious five did and decides that if there were justice, what they accomplished was the biggest heist in American history -- and for that, they should be held accountable.

Since that time, we as a nation founded on Constitutional principles -- and the world -- have suffered grievously.

It is time to revisit the scene of the crime -- and Vincet Bugliosi serves as a legally incisive, impassioned guide through the mugging of democracy and the birth of a regime of insidious, carefully calculated tyranny.

Even George W. Bush -- as feeble-brained and psychiatrically-impaired as he is -- knows that if you can steal a presidency, you can pretty much get away with anything, even signing a death warrant for American GIs.
