I haven't read all of this yet but it seems interesting. Greenwald and the UT conservatives will probably call it unserious or even "bat-shit crazy" but at least someone is trying to actually do something...

Massachusetts School of Law Organizing Bush War Crimes Trial by markthshark

"This is not intended to be a mere discussion of violations of law that have occurred," said convener Lawrence Velvel, dean and cofounder of the school. "It is, rather, intended to be a planning conference at which plans will be laid and necessary organizational structures set up, to pursue the guilty as long as necessary and, if need be, to the ends of the Earth."

"We must try to hold Bush administration leaders accountable in courts of justice," Velvel said. "And we must insist on appropriate punishments, including, if guilt is found, the hangings visited upon top German and Japanese war-criminals in the 1940s."

"For Bush, Richard Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld, and John Yoo to spend years in jail or go to the gallows for their crimes would be a powerful lesson to future American leaders," Velvel said.

Protests. Anybody know of any protests over the FISA capitulation? -- ahoyhoy

You in the wrong place ahoyhoy. Those who could be organizing the protests are busy working this out in the true American Way -- they are throwing money at it. Pretty soon you will here the call, from "liberal" bloggers, requesting donations so they can fight the good fight by issuing TV spots and full page ads in the mainstream press. The very corporate owned press they so often rail against. The corporate owned press that will, in some cases, not even accept their ads.

It's all part of the great plan you see. More and better democrats! Even though democrats are, right this moment and have been since they were elected into power, screwing the people, the constitution and the rule of law.

Marches, sit-ins, boycotts, and strikes are so DFHish. That's not the way it is done anymore. Not for the American neo-activist anyway. No, physical, bodily protesting is too radical. It might ruffle feathers. It might look bad for Obama. It might make us look unserious in the ever important eyes of the serious. These neo-activists are going to beat the corporations and moneyed interests at their own game -- one TV ad at a time. It's time to really scare them!

Get your pocketbooks and wallets ready. Perhaps if it isn't too late we can all get a sub-prime loans to help finance the effort.

[Physically protesting] might make us look unserious in the ever important eyes of the serious.

this is true. -- Baldie McEagle

See ahoyhoy? Protests would make protesters look bad in the eyes of the important people who matter -- the establishment. We can't have that. If that happens they won't let us have such great gifts as minimum wage and American Idol. We should really just be thankful for what we have, give them our money and vote for Obama!

Always with the negativity, it is with you.

Feel better? -- casual_observer

And another "serious" capitalactivist speaks! Everyone gather around. He is about to open his wallet and bring the pain.

It's not mandatory, or anything. If you prefer marching or striking, you can certainly do that. -- casual_observer

No, you're right, it isn't mandatory. I would love to take a walk down to my local congresscritters office with a few hundred or perhaps even a few thousand of my activist compatriots and just sit-in until they got Hoyer on the line or we got arrested. If they aren't at their office well then we just sit outside until someone notices. Heck you know what? If that happened in lots of cities, maybe the corporate media might even report on it and -- waddya know! -- we might even get free airtime for our grievances.

There is only one problem, my fellow activist compatriots are too busy writing checks and "hoping" (there's that word again) to bother joining me.

Good luck trying to beat them at their own game as a consumer-activist CO. Maybe, if you open that wallet wide enough, you will even get a thank you from Comcast for the ad revenue (if they run the ad of course).
