Hold on. Your sources for all this are recommending that their allies use firebombings to protest against the bill? No wonder they’re getting all upset, they are exactly the people this bill is designed to tackle.

You're over simplifying.
Just because they were appointed by a Republican does not mean they will vote in favor of the party's stance. Justice Souter, for example, was appointed by Bush Sr but is noted for frequently voting for the more liberal verdicts.
Justice Stevens, appointed by Ford, is also known to be quite liberal, while Justice Scalia generally interprets the constitution literally and consequently is a strong supporter of democratic freedoms (while still admittedly takes a conservative stance on many issues).

I'm not sure how the justices appointed by Regan and Ford 'owe there(sic) position' to Bush either.

Re: H.R.1955 America is soon to become dictatorship

What annoys me most about ill-conceived, ill-written conspiracy theories is that they detract attention from the fact that the Bush family and their neo-conservative cronies really are batshit fucking insane. Fair enough, that's usually a requirement for entry into the American political system, but surely there's a limit somewhere...

In 4 years America will have used it's tiny bases to invade and bully us, so under the crush of this dystopian society we may not be able to see this event, so spare us missing out on it and do it now. Just for the lulz.

Well then there fucked then.

Not to mention that he's anti-income tax and anti-social security, rabidly pro-life and anti-gun control.

I'd advise you to start practicing your contortionist exercises now. The required positioning may prove somewhat troublesome.
