Thanks to the Roberts Court, Corporations Have More Constitutional Rights Than Actual People | The Nation

Thanks to the Roberts Court, Corporations Have More Constitutional Rights Than Actual People | The Nation: 



The big media talk a lot about stalemate in Congress, but they are missing the real story. While representative democracy is dysfunctional, the Supreme Court has taken over with its own reactionary power grab. In case after case, the court’s right-wing majority is making its own law—expanding the power of corporations and the very wealthy, while making it harder for ordinary citizens to fight back. 



Worst of all, the Roberts Court is trying to permanently inhibit the federal government’s ability to help people cope with the country’s vast social and economic disorders.
