Have we a treasonous SCOTUS?
Wealthy foreign backers meddling even more deeply in US election processes? Foreign nations deciding or swaying our election results?
International corporate monsters have lurked there all along with US politicians tucked in their back pockets, a condition made possible by the Orwellian illusion – and Supreme Court decision – that ‘corporations are people, too’.
So the following post on the recent draconian decision by the US Supreme Court to roll back any controls on mega-money donations to US politicians from ‘strange’ entities expresses what I want to say myself but am still sputtering in indignation and I’m too angry to compose it.
“Free speech”? Well, here’s a little…
‘Impeach’ may be too good a word for what a certain five SC Justices deserve though I tend to think their 5 – 4 vote is more for public consumption and is not to be taken seriously. Makes a good show, however – as if the American people and the US Constitution have a few defenders on the Big Bench in this grievous attack on our nation.
Making a mummery of voting – SC, Congress, and otherwise – doesn’t matter when you know the dice are loaded from the start and that the outcome will be what you secretly want because you agreed to performing a mystery play beforehand.
Besides, I was all for SCOTUS impeachment in December 2000!
Astrology of Sotomayor vote: Moon conjoins Jupiter! 8.6.09
Update 3:21 pm edt; C-SPAN reports: Judge Sonia Sotomayor has just been approved…3:21 pm…vote was 68 to 31.
Original post begins here:
The SCOTUS vote on Sonia Sotomayor is scheduled for 3:00 pm edt this afternoon which is what I discovered after I checked an Astrology chart to see what planets or luminaries might be conjoining on her behalf.
Of course with Jupiter signifying the Republican Party in Mundane Astrology, Jupiter’s Rx condition may indicate the GOP’s inability to stop her nomination from going through, and the fact that few Rs will be voting for her.
Here’s what I found: Moon (a woman) conjoins (conjuncts) Jupiter (the Judge) at 3:46 pm edt in Washington, DC yet Jupiter 23AQ06 is Retrograde, and as chart-ruler, may indicate a problem to be overcome or some delay…still.
Also the pile-up of transiting power-related midpoints is in effect and ongoing upon US natal Pluto 27Cap33 Rx…Moon/Pluto joins them today in time for the SCOTUS vote:
Moon/Pluto, Jupiter/Pluto, Pluto/Chiron, and the Robber Barons’ signature, Neptune/Pluto which is now at 28Cap11.
So I don’t know what this tells you, but it tells me that Judge Sotomayor was a shoo-in (‘shoe-in’?) for Supreme Court Justice having all the right backing of the fat cats and big guys, including the powers-behind-the-throne (Pluto/Chiron.)

Confirmation hearing starts for Sotomayor 7.13.09
Judge Sonia Sotomayor‘s confirmation hearing for Supreme Court justice began at 10:00 am edt this morning so check out a few brief Astrology notes concerning what could be a most historic confirmation of a SCOTUS justice.
And with Pluto now established in the law-courts-politics-business sign of Capricorn, her term, if granted, should be singularly powerful as long as power-wielding, secretive Pluto remains on her side.
“Unless you have a complete meltdown you’re going to be confirmed,” says Republican South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham just now.
Oh the drama! So click through for a link to CSPAN’s video feed of our Capitol Hill Theater in performance.
John Roberts’ condition: after the fall
http://starsoverwashington.blogspot.com/2007/07/john-roberts-falls-saturn-at-midheaven.html is where you’ll find planetary info (“As above, so below”!) on Chief Justice John Roberts’ fall today at his vacation home in Maine.
There’s also a short update on Roberts’ condition with AP article link in case you missed the news–a seizure cause his fall and subsequent rush to the hospital.
Seems he had a similar episode in January, 1993.
Doctors call this sort of thing “a benign idiopathic seizure” and with no stroke or other known cause, it could possibly mean a diagnosis of epilepsy for John Roberts.
