The Dismantling of the Judiciary (Literally)

Given this news story, the Bush Administration is taking its self-appointed task of rebuilding the judiciary a bit too literally! The lives of average Americans -- our children, the next generation! -- are being put at risk!

To extend the joke/analogy perhaps a bit too far, maybe someday, as the students in the story, law students everywhere will try to grasp for phrases from crumbling precedents to keep as "souvenirs" of a bygone era -- only to be rebuffed by the police!
