Dear SCOTUS: Thanks For Nothing
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the corporation, by the corporation, for the corporation, shall not perish from the earth.

Here’s an excerpt:
“The United States has a $13 trillion GDP, and total annual campaign spending is on the order of $2 billion. Buying influence on the American government has to be the highest-leverage activity ever invented, and Justice Kennedy and his four accomplices just invited every oligarch and tyrant in the world to play. This is not just a threat to democracy; it’s a threat to sovereignty.”
But hey! maybe we’ll get some good candidates brought to us by competing corporations backed by China, Russia and Saudi Arabia.
That whole ‘imagine a boot stomping on a human face; forever’ quote, missed out on the important fact that the boot will have a corporate logo on the sole.
