U.S. Supreme Court: Democracy sentenced to Death by hanging

[Joanne98]

The U.S Supreme Court was supposed to protect the rights of people, but from the last decade or so it has been doing the opposite. In 2000 it appointed George W. Bush as President. According to many, Al Gore had won. With its most recent decisions, where it removes any limits on corporate financing for election campaigns, a final nail in the coffin of democracy has been inserted. In other words, through its decision now the President and Congressmen can be appointed or bought by big corporations. The US Empire was already in decline because of its quagmires in Iraq and Afghanistan, now with this Supreme Court decision any pretension it had for being a democratic country has ended. Now politicians will be constantly bought and sold unless Congress takes swift and decisive action to stop such trends through proper legislation.

The world looked towards the US a decade or so ago as a model of democracy. It need not do so anymore. From now on it will be a corporate autocracy unless something is done fast.

Corporations are dictatorships. They hate democracy. When they get control the first thing they will do is start attacking the Bill of Rights. They hate rights. The gun nuts better pay attention because the corporations will take away their guns. There's is NO WAY they will leave weapons in the hands of citizens. They didn't work for the last one hundred years to take over the country and make it a corporate dictatorship to lose it because an armed rebellion took it back. They WILL pick up the guns. You can put that in the bank.
