Judicial Coup

Few Americans of any party question our laws against foreign involvement in our domestic politics. But last week’s Supreme Court decision opens the door for global corporations to openly and directly dominate political discourse here. These corporations have allegiance to no country. The only connection many ‘American’ companies have to us anymore is to extract our dollars in exchange for foreign-made goods, before forwarding the profits to foreign tax havens.
Corporations have already established an international trading system through the WTO that usurps national law, and have used their surrogates in the media to portray opponents of this hyper-national framework as unpatriotic. Clever misdirection, that. They can be expected to use their newly legitimized power to further the subordination of national laws to theirs.
