Well here's something we never could have seen coming--seems the Chamber of Commerce, that organization that bends over backward to fuck the working class (but still gets a seat at the traditional media table), is seven for seven so far this year in cases it backed before the Supreme Court. Since the makeup of the Court is reliably conservative on economic issues one can't be surprised that the Chamber keeps pushing its anti-America agenda through the courts (a 68% success rate under the Roberts court). The Supreme Court--the best justice money can buy.
It's hard not to laugh when the traditional media throws in the monetary influence of labor unions when decrying the problem of too much money in our politics, especially when they're being outspent by corporate friendly groups by 15-1. So not only can they fuck us at work, they can fuck us politically by buying politicans and judges who enshrine that fucking into law.
It's hard not to be cynical about the Obama administration, but one of the most important aspects of this year's election is that, for all its faults, Obama's presidency continuing beyond 2012 is the only thing between those of us who work for a living and those of us who who leech off the labor of others to get wealthy looking at a 6-3 or even 7-2 conservative majority on the court.
What kind of a chance do you suppose those of us who work for a living stand with those numbers?
Peace,
