I own a t-shirt with that statement in big red letters. It’s
a “souvenir” from decades past. I think it’s time to start wearing it again.
It’s not just our legislative branch of government that’s
been taken over by corporations; our judicial branch has also been bought.
Judges are not immune to corruption, as many stories throughout history have
shown. But, somehow I had hoped the Supreme Court was different.
Justices Thomas and Scalia participated in a Koch Industries event in October 2010, and more recently were seen at a dinner sponsored by corporations fighting the healthcare bill just as the court agreed to review
the case.
Common Cause has been following this issue for some time. They have a lot of unbiased information about these and other "conflicts of interest" on their website. Educate yourself...then pass it on!
If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying attention. To take
action and ask Justice Thomas to rescue himself, visit credoaction.com. Justice Scalia should do the same. Perhaps we should ALL be writing letters in protest to the Department of Justice and the Clerk of the Supreme Court!
