The ancient English jurisprudential principle of habeas corpus shriveling under right wing attack.
The legal fiction that gives corporations the legal status of persons and indeed requires them to always act selfishly as such (“in their shareholders’ interests”).
Lobbyists write our laws.
The oil industry has seized our governments.
Right wing SCOTUS (or is it SCROTUM?)”Scalito” partisans actively reinterpret the constitution with their made up idea they can tell us its original intent on things like stem cell research and internet privacy.
The pendulum reaches its rightie peak and begins to swing back.
Throw the bums out before it is too late. It may be too late but throw them out anyway.
I suggest reading the first several paragraphs of the still wonderful Declaration of Independence and rethinking things.
Good Hands – You apparently did touch a nerve with Joe. Not sure whether it was his last or only nerve, but a nerve nonetheless. Maybe I am in a minority, but did understand the meaning of your first post. For some reason, the meaning was apparently lost on Joe Blow. Also, in all the excitment stemming from an opportunity to put you in your place (and do some name-calling as well), he completely whiffed on the settlement amount. I’m sure it is immaterial to him, though, since he seems like the type that would never let something as trivial as facts get in the way of making a point. $500 million? $1 billion? It’s all just fun money for an evil corpation like Exxon anyway, right?

You mean where it says that we get our rights from our Creator, not from govt? Souter, Ginsburg et al are the ones that need to avquaint themselves with the DofI.
The court has not been favoring business, but property. Those who want to control other people’s property don’t like that.
You are obviously one who would be happier in a workers paradise like Cuba. It’s only 90 miles, and you can float there on an inner tube. Oh wait, people are floating HERE opn inner tubes trying to get out of Democrat Utopia. nevermind.
If Al didn’t need all that fuel to fly around in his private jet, then maybe this accident/incident could have been avoided. Seriously, punishing Exxon is taking $$ out of your own pocket if you have anything invested in mutual funds in your IRA/401K or pension plan. It’s time for Alaskans to turn the page and move on with life.
Big business haters will never be happy with a settlement or judgement until it kills the business involved. Death penalty for evil businesses. They don’t beleive in restitution only retribution.
Ive noticed a lot of the Republicans on this comments section are really struggling to get their facts straight. Many of you are suffering in low paying jobs in the insurance industry, while your more intelligent classmates went on to get high paying jobs in more exciting fields. Its actually kind of sad.
I love the republicans on this site who would bend over backwards to defend big business, but are just small fish in the insurance industry. Meanwhile the rich get richer in a system that is set up for them to prosper. But just because some old small time Republican has a few bucks in Exxon he will defend them. Its sooo sad. I send these comments to my liberal friends on Wall Street in NY and they just laugh at you small minded insurance folks who defend big business, while you get hood winked!!
Your life is so exciting that you are commenting right here with us lowlives? To me “exciting” means repelling, climbing, traversing, white water rafting, selling a large premium policy, shopping, then again why AM I still here? I can leave, Im my own boss. How about you big shot?

Maybe Leahy is so sensitive to the drunk thing because he is a drunken shamrock himself
