Tenth

Terrorism -- "the use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes."


So...this guy -- Scott Reoder, pre-meditated killer of the Kansas abortion doctor, Dr. George Tiller, is just a "murderer," even though he had a long history of advocating terroristic "use of violence and threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes" against the legal practice of abortion?



Ironic, isn't it? Here's a real terrorist who should be treated as such -- not just as a socio-psychopath -- but a person who readily admits killing in the name of a political cause.


In contrast, some of the Earth Liberation Front folks
received severe terrorist enhancements by the Alberto Gonzalez led Justice Department simply because they had written communiques that their non-violent arson crimes against property such as SUVs and ski lifts on National Forest lands were an attempt to change policy.


Now add to this the recent abysmal 5 - 4 Supreme Court decision to upend 100 years of Court precedent granting non-human Corporations the same right to the First Amendment as those of human US citizens; as well as equating the spending of unlimited Corporate money in US elections as an act of Freedom of Speech.


I won't be surprised when these five neo-liberal, ultra conservative activist "judges" (more like political operatives) who side continually with business and property, and against human rights and choice, vote @ some point against upholding Roe vs. Wade.


Such a sad state of affairs...Reoder effectively commits terrorism inhibiting women's right of choice; and Roberts, Alito, Scalia and Thomas commit an act of terrorism against the US Constitution and the right of US human voters to free elections.
