Inscribed over the Supreme Court

[mnhtnbb]

What does it say at the top of the Supreme Court Building? "Equal Justice Under Law"

I laughed when I read that when visiting DC last November with my "French" daughter.
Now, after today's decision, I am sad. Very sad.

It would seem that the Justices need to step outside the Court Building, take a look up and
read what is inscribed there. How can they possibly believe that "Equal Justice Under Law"
can be obtained, given the decision they made today?

:wtf:

1. Yes, it can...

It just takes a lot more money than either of us has.

[mnhtnbb]

2. Maybe they could hire some workers to change the inscription to

Best Justice Money Can Buy

6. Exactly!

[mnhtnbb]

3. Wow. Look how fast the unrecs add up!

4. Shameless bump

5. Thanks for the recs!

7. Share your sentiment k&r

Equal justice was already a fiction but now $ explicitly buys justice.

8. Ugh, "birds not allowed"?

(my crude attempt at humor)

First, they came for the birds....

10. "The Goldman Sachs Supreme Court Building"

Sponsorships and all.

11. LOL! They PAID for it.

Gee, come to think of it, Goldman Sachs owns all three branches of govmint.

12. You seem to be very confused.

You may disagree with the premise, but legal corporate personhood is a reality.

Today's SCOTUS decision simply gives corporate persons "Equal Justice Under Law" as it pertains to political campaigning.

14. I'm confused? I don't think so, and neither did four other justices.

[MercutioATC]

15. 5, however, did.

Whether you want to admit it or not, this is a sound legal interpretation of existing law.

13. At the other end of the Mall, in the Lincoln Memorial, where the words of the Gettysburg address

are inscribed, they could change "government of the people, by the people, for the people"
to "government of the corporation, by the corporation, for the corporation"

Lincoln must be rolling over in his grave.
