With cameras in the court, Americans would be able to watch how the Roberts Court will tilt the country away from the American people and into the hands of the corporate elite.
As if. We need them no less than we need some serious changes in the Court. Meanwhile, the worst may be about to happen. If corporations are allowed "personhood" in their relationship with elections, elections will no longer be free. Corporate America may be handed the full key set to our democracy.
John Amato sums it up.
All a corporation would have to do is merely threaten a candidate that they'll make a movie or run a gazillion ads against them and that would be enough to "buy" their vote over anything that a corporation deems unprofitable. What's sad is that corporations already funnel millions of dollars through PACs already, but that's still not enough for the activist judges of the right.
Given how Americans in both major political parties feel about corporations these days, this may touch off a reaction that will brand this Court as no other.
