Justice John Paul Stevens Talks Death Penalty, Citizens United, New Memoir

Supreme Court is more interested in granting more powers to coporation than doing it's actual job, protecting Humans. Anyone, who thinks that the supreme court, congress, the execuetive and both political parties aren't doing the same thing, is not paying attention. It is time to rehaul our democracy and institutio­ns before it is too late. If you are near DC or NY, then occupy and demand your democracy back. The most important thing, is electing good, ethically people from within a grassroots movement. The polical machine (controlle­d by corporatio­ns) with not elect someone in our corner.

The USSC has no history of protecting Corps over humans. Quite the contrary. On a different note .. how do you differenti­ate "humans" (individua­ls) from "corps" (communiti­es of humans)?

I, too, yearn for leadership in all branches of government that protects and defends living, breathing human beings' needs and interests instead of legal fictions (corporati­ons) that, if they were people, would be diagnosed as sociopathi­c character disorders.   

Back at the founding of the the US, a corporatio­n's charter was required to be dissolved after 40 years, so suspicious and cautious were the earliest Americans about corporatio­ns.

Now, corporatio­ns are immortal, which is another abzurdity about their being considered 'persons' under the law.

Following the reducto ad absurdum of corporatio­ns as people, if you look at them as people, the vast majority of them could be diagnosed as sociopaths­. They're completely self-absor­bed, their only motivation is profit and destroying competitio­n (other corporatio­ns or by the same legal definition other people), they have no conscience­, no capacity for empathy. The only time they do something that could be construed as generous or for the greater good is when their consultant­s tell them it's good for business. It's like they display all of the lower qualities of human beings - greed avarice predatory nature. The same behavior in a flesh and blood human being would elicit cries of shame in the community and considered appalling, but somehow it's just fine for a corporatio­n to behave that way.   And they can't be criminally prosecuted­.

We're not going to get the kind of leadership to end this travesty from either the Democratic or Republican parties.
