Courts in middle-of-the-road states can be taken over, too.

Just means a constitutional amendment for the state.

In Iowa, an amendment to the state Constitution has to be proposed by 2 successive legislatures before it goes to a referendum. This means that a referendum cannot happen until 2011 at the earliest. To make matters worse, the Dems control the state legislature and will likely block any vote on a constitutional amendment.

Quite right...courts in smaller, less populous states can be taken over actually more easily than in bigger states....witness the town in I think it was Oregon where a bunch of Moonies moved to, enmasse, and then had the votes to elect their own people to the town’s elected offices and so took over the town govt.

And yes, the regular manner in which one or two non-elected “judges” (”czars”?) trump the will of the people (shown via voting results) as well as ursurp legislative powers that do not belong to the judiciary show the USA is much more the fascist dictatorship than the kind of govt of the people it was founded to be.

We could call the future of the USA the “4th Reich” or some such...USSA?

Especially with the legislatures failing to defend their turf.
