The majority of Supremes are bought and sold by those very same corporations they rule on. There is NO Rule of Law in the US anymore. It is the rule of a rich man's whim that the Supremes are pushing. If anyone thinks we are still governed by fair and just laws, they need to only look at bush v. Gore to see how the dancing Supremes twisted and distorted the Constitution in order to pick their buddy as president.

Thomas sells his vote to the rich man willing to give him the most expensive statue or pay his wife the biggest paycheck. Scalia's vote is much cheaper and can be bought for a dinner and a trip.

As long as the wealthy are allowed to accumulate vast sums of wealth, then the government will always be corrupt. The wealthy work very hard to make the government corrupt. Because if the government were NOT corrupt then the value of their wealth would be limited to buying only stuff. The 1% have a vested interest in insuring the government and it's supposed laws are corrupted otherwise they could not buy politicians, laws, judges and get favorable treatment. By corrupting the government, their money can now also buy power, influence and exemptions from laws that apply to everyone else.

The Supremes will always rule in favor of the corrupt because they gain from a corrupt system. Law is gone, the whim of the lazy rich now rules.
