Big money is busy dissolving all the checks and balances it can, everywhere it can. Presidents and legislators ride money avalanches into power, and pliant judges are appointed (by force, if need be) to preclude "troublemakers" like the courageous Judge Arias in the above story.

On a lighter note, Happy New Year Proserpina! All the best to you and yours.
