Now that the SCOTUS has said that corportations are people....
1) The BP CEO should be prosecuted for the deaths of the oil rig workers.
2) The McDonald's CEO should be prosecuted for the 12 million cadmium-tainted Shrek glasses that kids/folks have been exposed to.
3) The CEOs of industrial companies that pollute our air/water should be prosecuted for the cancers/etc that Americans have had to deal with.
4) The PEOPLE at FoxNews should be prosecuted for defamation of character (of all the people they have lied about) and should be personally held responsible for any deaths/hate crimes that occur.
Etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc....

1. Well, yes and no, but . . .
The 'Licans may get their noses rubbed in a "be careful what you wish for" nightmare if Obama gets a chance to replace a few wingnut justices. Presuming a second term, there might be an opening or two on the right side of the bench.

2. I dunno. The oldest among them is Scalia. He's on the bench till the next Republican administration.
It's appalling, but the math is still working against us.

3. Sadly true. Apparently "only the good die young" is more than . . .
A cheezy song by an aging quasi-rocker.

4. The thinking is that corporations are made of people who have those rights.
Therefore, we need to arrest not just the CEO, but *everybody* who holds any kind of stock in the relevant corporations.

5. Didn't Fox win litigation a while back that news corporations can lie ....
can force their news readers to read lies -- at cost of being fired?
