Conflicts of interest like this absolutely cannot and should not be tolerated in United States Supreme Court decisions. <br /><br />I was following this very closely when this case went through and the decision was passed down. I can't believe mass riots and protests didn't break out in the streets. I don't think people understand the magnitude or consequences of the decision, and the media is in the pocket of the corporation, so they aren't going to make a big deal out of it either. The Obama Administration is too busy compromising, trying to appease the conservatives and liberals right now to do anything about this. It's just another step in the transition from democracy to corporatocracy.<br /><br />a paradox: With the citizens united decision, the Supreme Court would probably have to rule that the union busting is unconstitutional, because collective bargaining is a first amendment right given by that decision to the corp and the union, so unless citizen's united is overturned, the collective bargaining stands...this only works if their is no corruption in the Supreme Court or when the GOP cares about the law.Mary Mayhemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933011510549677230noreply@blogger.com
