On the Withdrawal of Harriet Miers’ Nomination to Supreme Court
While Harriet Miers is no champion of the fundamental rights of the
people, the withdrawal of her nomination is extremely ominous.
Simply put, Miers was forced to step down because the hardcore base
of the bush regime demands an even more aggressive, rapid, and openly
fascist remaking of society. Faced with mounting difficulties, bush has
signaled that he will now move even more quickly and forcefully in this
direction.
The Miers withdrawal drives home the urgent need for people to be in
the streets Nov. 2nd, the anniversary of Bush’s re-election raising the
slogan “Drive Out the Bush Regime.” Silence and paralysis are NOT
acceptable. Unless people mount a decisive challenge to this whole
direction à NOW ( we will find ourselves in a far worse position once
the dust clear on this nomination.
At the same time, the fact that people do not want this fascist
overhaul of society underlines the real possibility to drive out the
bush regime, repudiate his political program, and reverse the whole
direction he has been taking society. This can only happen through the
mobilization of millions of people who know in their hearts that in
fact they must, and are coming to see that they can, change the course
of history through their own independent historical action.
November 2nd it begins.
THE WORLD CAN’T WAIT! DRIVE OUT THE BUSH REGIME
