'judicial coup': something that has already happened in this country a number of times... most during and directly after the war of northern aggression. But they really got rolling with Wickard v. Filburn, which cemented the current federal leviaton's unchallengeable usurpations. Venezuela Supreme Court blocks opposition's parliamentary super-majority in 'judicial coup'Judges granted government request to suspend three parliamentarians due to take office next week - taking opposition below two-thirds majority needed to unpick Nicolas Maduro's grip on powerBy Hannah Strange, Foreign Editor, 8:04PM GMT 31 Dec 2015 Ahead of the court's decision, the opposition called on the international community to stop what it called "a procedural coup attempt against the Venezuelan people's decision". "The ruling party's irresponsible behaviour is pushing the entire country to the brink of disaster, which would have grave consequences for the entire region," Jesus Torrealba, MUD executive secretary, wrote in an open letter to Ban Ki-Moon, the United Nations secretary general, and other international representatives. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/venezuela/12076970/Venezuela-Supreme-Court-blocks-oppositions-parliamentary-super-majority-in-judicial-coup.html

The key word there is "completely." Both are well into their death throes. Indeed, Venezuela's ruling party just lost congressional elections that gave the opposition a veto-proof majority, and it's hard to see that getting any better for them any time soon — or ever. www.businessinsider.com/venezuela-is-on-the-brink-of-a-complete-economic-collapse-2016-1
