More From Pakistan - Things Getting Worse

Now for those of you who balk at my comparisons of Pakistan to the US, consider this quote,"Some judges by overstepping the limits of judicial authority have taken over the executive and legislative functions". Those same words have come from our fearless decider and now come from Pervez Musarraf in his justification for suspending constitutional rule in Pakistan!

Musharraf had the Supreme Court sealed off and has seized absolute military power after the courts threatened to overturn his election results. Remind you of another election? Maybe I am being alarmist, but I have to wonder if the same game plan hasn't crossed Dick Cheney and George Bush's mind for our Supreme Court.
