Day 1 Cristina gets humiliated by the Supreme Court (for the second time)
Day 2 Cristina vows to make the judges subordinate to the "public will"
Day 3 Out of the blue comes an unpopular judges decision in a highly corrupt and tight knit little province run by the Peronists
Day 4 Cristina triumphant announces this is exactly what I mean - now the "public will" is to sack all those judges and any others who get in her way ... who she (supposedly a lawyer if anyone can find her certificate of graduation) as the only voice of the people ... dislikes
Result "public opinion" swings behind Cristina and she is riding the crest of a wave of "moral indignation" seemingly empowered to swat the judges just like she wanted because we are all too shocked and outraged to step back and take stock of the situation.
Now I know how many conspiracy theorists there are around these days and some have even been spotted in BA ex-pats too but this coincidence did put me in mind of the excellent Robert Cox item in Buenos Aires Herald ....

and recollection that manipulation at this scale has been seen before.
And this doesnt mean I have a view on whether these people acquitted in Tucuman are guilty or not - let the decision be appealed and let due process take place and take it all the way to the Supreme Court as must.
Of course Cristina is going to make the most of this opportunity. Father Christmas has bought her present a little early this year. Cristina has stopped weeping now!
