I was reading The Civil Disobedience Handbook today!
In it, the author republishes Henry Thoreau's essay: On The Duty of Civil Disobedience"
I bought it 7 years ago, when I was just appalled at the Bush admins antics. I finally read it today thinking what I might want to do if JPM and the FDIC get away with taking WAMU down for only 1.9 billion!
Seriously. JPM is very exposed now because they have all these branches out here and around. I mean there's exposure and where there's profits.
So, anyway, Thoreau says that a man and his government should attend to the matters of the hour!
When the courts arrange to try people later or save discovery for another court event that is not certain to happen anyway, it says that there are ways that due process can be completely circumvented by legal means. That is not what the spirit of the law is about. The judge asked about the remanded state of the Texas case and the attorney clarified that it is recommended to be remanded but not yet done so. Even the possibility of discovery not happening in a case like this is complete insanity. I hope the judge sees that and I hope that there is no way that JPM will not be subject to investigative discovery.
