5. One of the most evil, heartless bastards in this country.

He controls the Chamber and it's secret newspapers, like the Southeasttexasrecord.com, one in New Orleans, West Virginia and a few others, all with "Record" in the name. They would put printed versions outside of jury assembly rooms for free. The content is anti-plaintiff, lawsuit abuse crap designed to get potential jurors to think that the plaintiffs in the case they are about to sit on are frauds, their award would cost the juror more in insurance...

They fund candidates for judge all over the country, as well as school boards, city councils... The Chamber, under Donohue's leadership even filed an amicus brief (friend of the court) supporting one of BP's main appeals. All to the detriment of the local Chamber of Commerce businesses along the Gulf Coast. Those are small, U.S. Businesses, not some big foreign company like BP. Donohue's and the Chamber could care less about small American businesses.
