The author, without stating so, really describes how the duplicitous capitalist game has worked in the Supreme Court of the US (SCOTUS). Only at the end of the article does he imply that the game was rigged from the beginning without explaining how and why.
SCOTUS is just one of three branches of a totally broken government, broken in part at the very start by the U.S Constitution that is fundamentally flawed in its design and needs to be "demythologized" by asking "What kind of government do we want?"The game was established to insure the dominance of rule by, and for, a class consisting of owners of economic property (capitalists), but widely packaged and sold as "democracy". The latter theme has been pounded into the heads of its citizens ever since the founding of the nation so that now it is rarely questioned.
Still, there are widespread doubts about the way things are currently going in the "land of the free and the home of the brave". People are concerned about never-ending wars, poor and expensive health care, the closing and underfunding of schools, the disappearing jobs that pay a living wage, debts, homelessness, hunger, and the emergence of a police state that engages in full-spectrum surveillance of its citizens.
