Pissed at the right-wing judicial activism of the Roberts court?

2. It's the promotion of Fascism!

Right wing, corporate funded and corporate control.

That's the classic definition of Fascism.

10. You have it exactly right.

Fascism by definition is Corporatism. Even when the so called left is in power, they do the bidding of corporations due to the toxic influence of legalized bribery. That's just Fascism Lite, less calories but just as filling.

3. I want to do something about all the Roman Catholic men on the SC.

RC men always perpetuate Patriarchy.

4. Hmm...impeachment? Do we have the votes?

I'm serious.

[DURHAM D]

6. What is the impeachable offense? Did they take bribes? nt

[MineralMan]

8. Unconstitutional action. That's enough.

Did they take bribes? I have no idea, and it would be impossible to prove. But, the House can impeach based on constitutionality. Violating the Constitution is, indeed, a high crime. Besides, the bar is set a little lower for justices. If they want to impeach, they can impeach.

15. What a bullshit summary of the ACLU brief

[HughMoran]

9. Signed - but no way to know if this will do any good.

Petitions rarely sway politicians.

14. PFAW doesn't go far enough

This is one of several Supreme Court decisions that bestow on Corporations the rights of people. That's a feature of Corporatism, government for the benefit of large corporations. A synonym for Corporatism is Fascism.

The amendment should state something along the lines that Corporations do not have the rights of people. Perhaps throw in some protection of commercial speech. That would allow limitations on campaign contributions and lobbying.

Amendments have names and the name for this should not only be descriptive, but educational. It should be called the Anti-Fascist amendment.

Even right wing turds will have second thoughts before voting against something labeled anti-Fascist.

16. Done. Thanks for the link!

Grrrrrrrrrr.
