John G. Roberts (R-Corporate Shill)

A few weeks ago I said the real way to tell how President Bush was going to select a Supreme Court nominee would be to see who the biggest corporate shill on the list of contenders was. And as John G. Roberts nomination shows, I was right.

At the beginning of the month, the Los Angeles Times reported that the U.S. Chamber of Commerce was getting very involved in the Supreme Court fight. Specifically, "the Chamber forwarded to the White House its review of federal judges from each circuit, with ratings of each judge based on rulings that concern business." In other words, Big Business sent their marching orders over to President Bush.

Not surprisingly, the Los Angeles Times today reports that Roberts is Corporate America's golden boy, handpicked by - you guessed it - the Chamber of Commerce.

As I said before, the media makes this stuff out to be all "liberal" vs. "conservative" when in fact the real paradigm is Corporate America vs. Everyone Else. This just proves it.

1. Yes, Roberts is pro big business

Does that surprise anyone? The males still run this country and they chose one of their own to continue the legacy.

Bush could not think of one single woman who was qualified. He likes the male control and showed it.

2. Corporate America vs. Everyone Else

Now that is some real framing. This Republican v Democrat is just fascists ping pong until we get down to the real business of ending the Corporate States of America. It is "We" against the fascist powers and the ignorant that follow them and their lies.

3. And that explains why so many Dems aren't complaining about him...

Their true allegiance will show forth in this arena
