The Supreme Court has broadened the rights of corporations and the government over the individual so much, who can say?

It's a shame to realize that back in the 1830s when we were in an active nationwide war
against the Native tribes, that the Supreme Court was willing to try and stop the Andrew
Jackson death march... or that there was ever a period of time when it could be relied on
to reverse its previous bad decisions... the name of the game is continual increase in the
power of corporations and the state, and it's reached a tipping point where these large
institutions have the power to compel the courts to vote a certain way by influencing who
gets appointed and what arguments are presented before them.
