Corporate Personhood

[jimshoes]

Now that we the people have lost our great writ, now that anybody especially persons not of this country can be targeted and labeled enemy combatants or some derivation thereof without judicial review, what about corporations that have been found to be or are suspected of aiding or in some way helping, Al Qaida, or other terrorists, or group of terrorists or organizations that do business with known terrorists or terrorist states? Can they be siezed without due recourse or some legal remedy? I think this soon to be law opens up a whole can of worms regarding corporations, no?

1. I disagree. There are a lot of laws on the books that

specifically protect corporations. I think we are going to find that corporations are now much more secure than actual people are.

3. Yes.

5. Maybe then if corporations actually

have more rights than people, this might be a good way to get this law before the Supreme Court. My point is this awful law needs to be challenged somehow.

2. Can you say "halliburton," boys & girls?

There. I knew you could.

But it's not at all about actual security ar anything of the sort, as everyone here knows. It's about corralling & controlling El Diablo's opponents.

4. I'd like to see imminent domain used to neuter a couple for the sake of

our foreign policy.

Make a list of every company that asked for and got a military intervention, coup, or assassination, seize them with imminent domain, and either nationalize them or break them up and sell off the pieces.

6. 'Entitlements' trump 'rights'.

This is the hallmark of an autocracy ... and fascism is an autocracy.
