Sorry, I'm woefully uninformed; why were so many judges removed??

because right now he can do it without any resistance. Imagine him doing that last week...

Wait so he's literally just going "okay get rid of all these judges" and arresting them?

I mean, yeah, that is literally what has happened..

Damn... I guess it makes sense to think the coup was staged, then. I didn't realize he was taking advantage of the situation like that.

1. That is developing into a very interesting discussion.

Thanks for posting.

2. Definitely taking advantage of the situation, but staged?

That seems like quite a leap, requiring more evidence than simply a political leader gaining advantage in a situation.

Now is definitely an advantageous time for him to remove judges.

3. While reading that, I got a mental picture

of Condoleeza Rice explaining world events to George W. Bush. Georgie's in his footie pajamas.
