Stacking the Deck to Stack the Court
STACKED DECK,
STACKED COURT
Alignment of the antis:
Opposition to this appointment by the black president can be dismissed by playing various token-cards, beginning with racist:
anti-black – “not allowing a president his appointment counter- traditional; hence, prejudiced.’ (see Ken Starr’s comment: ‘elections mean something’, adding his legal opinion on the ‘liberal’ side, this time; he now says he regrets being used by right-wing ideologues to degrade the public atmosphere by prosecuting Clinton.)
anti-Semitic -- opposed by Jew haters)
anti-homosexual -- opposed by homophobes (whether she is a lesbian or not)
anti-feminist – opposed by misogynists
These are major ‘hate cards’ which either side can ‘play’, or not play, to evoke reaction-formation in political discourse. “NO! NO! NOT! slavery! Nazi holocaust! queer bashing! female oppression! The democratic values this country was founded on! – freedom! equal rights! Woodstock Nation from the ‘60’s completing its vengeful return. They ain't stoppin' this time. It’s feminazis now, down the line.
These “anti”-tokens “frame” opposition to Kagan’s nomination. Even to entertain the thoughts they bring elicits punishment-anxiety. They are therefore repressed. “NO! NO!” is instinctive rejection of such heinous thoughts. (This the only way repressed contents can gain entry to consciousness.)
Trading on unconscious disambiguation like this sets the stage for abuses. Pre-emptively defining expression of ‘anti’ feeling as “hate talk’, is one. Tacit encouragement of such talk to instigate ‘hater reaction’, leading to staged fake-hate crimes in extreme cases, is another. To have to defend or explain criticism as NOT based on these is a third; beyond annoying, to felt as hatefully oppressive.
All these built-in token-signals are residues of love-turned-to hate.
Love of women, of those sexually different; yes, of Jews, with empathy for their suffering. Of Black people, with empathy; of the continent of Africa. All this love once surely prevailed in America. Then came the neocons. And their cunning manipulations of America-talk. Ex.: Leo Strauss, student of Martin Heidegger, who held that people are more strongly bonded by threat of a common enemy than by altruistic feelings toward each other. This is a pivotal doctrine of neoconservatives. It goes with policy favoring pre-emptive strike against enemies. He is their Trotsky, attracting acolytes like Allan Bloom (Saul Bellow; U. of Chicago), Nathan Glazier, etc.). This brings about an existential reversal from expansion based on bonds of trust, to global corporatism based on reaction-formation (=>psychodynamics of the Oedipus complex). It is all about Fathers, and the instinctive positing of a Perfect One for Sons and Daughters to worship, in order that they might complete an inner stage of development (installing a “Super-Ego”, ideal self, under the “Watchful eye of the Father”). The transition is from Loving, Caring Father of the New Testament, to perpetually at-war Father of Old Testament Semites. Catholics, with priestly hierarchy tied to ancestral inheritance of spirit, are closer to the Old Testament Jewish God than Protestants, by virtue of this ‘generational’ link. “What kind of Father do YOU believe in?”

***
From Vietnam to Kagan – (’63) Sins of the Fathers => (’83 Reagan/Neocons) => (’03) <= GW Bush/Iraq (shame) <= religio-ethnic-racial networking: political process brought under Catholic/Jewish favoring influences:
I. “Sinful Fathers” (<=”No! No!” cries the little child in each and all. “Give Us Back Good Fathers!”) => influence favoring Latin/Catholic legal tradition as ‘more rigorous’ compensatory reversal. The shame of pedophile priests augments, rather than diminishing the drive toward “Good Father’s Language”, legal language, by doubling the shame of Iraq (which doubled the shame of Vietnam War fathers, originating with Catholics. With 6 out of 9 SCOTUS justices Roman Catholic, final arbiters of the legal language of America, the circle of guilt and shame reaches the present.
Judgment: Acting outside the law, from ’63 to Vietnam, Reagan, neocons, BushI,II, by its very illegal, immoral (Black*) impetus, cathects childhood desire for Old Just Father’s language even our own fathers heard as a child. The gradual filling-in of pictures fulfilling this wish leads, over time, by karmic feedback loops, to the rising up of Catholic justices: Scalia, Roberts, Alito, Thomas, …). This is the classic psychodynamic of Freud’s Oedipal complex. The first “NO! NO!” is reaction-formation to the content of Father, also the Beloved, as sinful – and possessing the Mother. (This is where Freud’s own analysis was not finished, in my opinion; he did not face up squarely to the image of Rapist Killer Father in his, and the Jewish, unconscious. The conflict regarding sexuality is all about “desire for the Mother’ <=( safe, nurturant, fun, free, early childhood care) <= (womb/placental container of first life)
II. KILLER MOTHERS (ELANA KAGAN) <=Vengeful (Killer) Mother: apotheosis of Masculin-ized Female Liberalism, defined by post-’67 sub-culture reaction to Rapist/Killer Father aggression in Vietnam.
(“No! No!” the little child inside each one cries out, again, in reaction to the ABUSIVE FATHER/to /KILLER-MOMMY REVENGE CYCLE) <= Kagan <= homosexual <= Jewish <= female <= homosexual (claiming inheritance of liberalism
=>Gay Liberation (faux ‘60’s ‘coming out’ movement)
=>gender issues (equal pay for equal work; discriminatory practices, ‘glass ceiling’ policies: fighting the “Old Boy’s Republican Network”
<=Feminine Liberation (Betty Friedan: The Feminine Mystique)
=>Ethnic liberation (latent: Jewish civil rights activists in the South merge racial-ethnic-religious threads as part of the anti-war generation
‘60’s movement. Returned in ’09,’10 on MSNBC as SPLC rep Marc Potak, scourging ‘hate groups’: on the web: David Duke, AN (Aryan Nation), NA (National Alliance), OD (Original Dissent), CCC (Christian Community-), neo-Nazi, KKK remnants. Among mainstream religionists, Pat Robertson/Jerry Falwell/Bob Jones/Oral Roberts/Jimmy Swaggart “New World Order” Evangelicals; of more mainstream groups: Southern Baptist, Presbyterian,
<= Black Liberation/ Malcolm X, MLK, SLA
FREEDOM MOVEMENTS (-post ’67) (READ UP)
<= VIETNAM WAR REACTION: Advanced psychoclass youth uprising against old rapist-killer (dark) Father archetype. (‘Baby Boomer’ generation; the best and brightest <= co-opted by WWII killer fathers)
….Cindy Sheehan was the legitimate voice of Vietnam war protest, lamenting loss of her son in Iraq war. No uprising against G.W. Bush’s aggressions occurred, even after the deceptions and lies were exposed.
III. “She Just Doesn’t Fit”
According to Scottish common sense philosopher Thomas Reid
fittingness is the existential basis of moral (“ought to be”) judgment.
Mysterium Conjunctionis : the Karma of Sinful Fathers is matched with that of Vengeful Mothers in The Unconscious => manifesting in the ethnic-religious ratios of the Supreme Court of The United States of America, exercisng the powers of government most associated with the SuperEgo. Collectively: interpretation of law. In male form: Catholic Fathers. In female form: Jewish Mothers (reversal of female as “weak”. (What could be stronger and, in its way (ugh) sexier than a lesbian law professor, ex-Dean of Harvard Law School, from New York City via Chicago?)
This outcome is the result of political networking through religio-ethnic variables. Father-Son guilt complex, originating in Vietnam, is further augmented through unconscious associations by lying wars, shame, fantasies of rebirth by male anal rape (of ‘effeminate’ Arabs), and the Catholic pedophile priest scandal; the reputation of blacks as itinerant fathers.
Kenneth Starr, now President of Baylor University, is a fan:
STARR: Well it may be good politics but I don’t think it’s good for the Court. We have been through a generation of very divisive politics which I think is not serving the Court well and therefore I don’t think it serves the country well. But far be it from me to question the tactics of folks who are elected by their constituents to carry a particular voice. I just wish for the sake of the country that there are less rancor and acrimony. Elections have consequences. President Obama has chosen someone who is very qualified.
Starr, who famously led the impeachment campaign against President Bill Clinton, has previously said he “very much regrets” his “unhappy decision” to drag the country through that right-wing crusade.

Thesis: It is possible to construct a narrative of what a group of people
who use signs in communication according to particular rules, or grammar, from a relatively small sample of tokens* each processes separately, combining them into whole (totality*) by self-reference. When each “I” uses the same sign, or symbol, each One as for All, a historical group process is initiated, sustained by the energy of shared ‘delegate positions’ (“We” for “I”) of consciousness. “I, as an American” is the delegate position of patriotic consciousness. “We vote”, this position has learned to say of itself by linking “I’s”, “We’s” and “the Constitution”
Theory. The trajectory of individual lives flowing together as SCOTUS judges is the result of religio-ethnic networking. The psychic processing links are partly conscious, but largely unconscious.
Shared “We”-delegate positions bring the ambient group-historical process into a whole, or Totality* (*terms with asterisk are psychosemiotic primitives, defined through actual instances inTokenSpace). This Totality* becomes a subject of sentences, such as “we Americans ought to wake up”, published in such places as blogs and letters to the editor.
Catholic tokens are
;y as such, of legalistic authoritative religion; and ethnic Jewry
We are about to get PC’ed (by reaction-formation) out of our heritage.
