A SUPREME COUP

By Jim Hightower - Thu., 1/21/10

This is not judicial activism, it's judicial radicalism – a
black-robed political coup over America's historic democratic ideals. Five
men have just overthrown the power of the people's vote, enthroning
corporate money as supreme in all of our country's elections. Jefferson,
Madison, and the other founders of our democratic republic are not merely
spinning in their graves – they're trying to claw their way out and throttle
these shameful usurpers.

Remember their names – Alito, Kennedy, Roberts, Scalia, and
Thomas. Corporate whores.

political corruption

Once again the supreme court of the bushites (both of them) is showing that corporations are better than people. I'm limited to what I can give but they aren't and they aren't really even people. Nothing in the Constitution gives corporations the same rights as a person. And a corporation is not a person. If it were then when it breaks the law it would have to stop doing business just as I would if I broke the law and went to jail.
