        Except that Roberts ended the voting rights act, thereby paving the way for new rounds of mass voter suppression and disenfranchisement in former Jim Crow states.https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2014/04/republican-voting-rights-supreme-court-id/ …

        To be clear, Shelby County v. Holder struck the section 4(b) coverage formula for preclearance, not the Voting Rights Act as a whole.

        Without educating people what the Court is about, he can expect more lack of respect for their rulings. Of course it doesn't help when Rs have packed the Court with cronies.

        I agree that originally SCOTUS‘s role wasn’t to educate people on how it works. Although in this age of ignorance, SCOTUS should try to educate Americans. The court risks its legitimacy if it continues to hide its inner workings from people who are impacted by its decisions

        It's not hidden. There's a visitors gallery for anyone to watch in person, and audio recordings of the arguments are available online. Only online video recordings are unavailable.

        He forgot to also mention that their other role is to suck up to Trump & other Republicans and so what they instruct them to do. Unfortunately, the court system can no longer be trusted. ESPECIALLY, John Roberts who HELD onto hundreds of complaints file against Kavanagh!

        And the people think the court is rigged. I’m a lawyer and am trying to read a hearing argument transcript from last week. It became apparent how incompetent they are as a whole.

        The Chief Justice has the mind of an autocratic bully. Put the cameras in the court room. Put the Supreme Court on CSPAN.

        The process works very well? I'm a f-ing CMM-based Process Analyst. How is "Corporations are People" = "working very well"?

        A "corporation" has always been a fictional legal "person" that can own property, enter into contracts, incur legal liability, etc. Even the word derives from the Latin term for body (the same Latin "corp-" root as "corpse" or "corps").

        And every freaking corporation is owned by someone(s) who already have the right to vote.

        That's true. And corporations do *not* have the right to vote (nor has that ever been proposed or seriously considered). They have most of the rights of a "natural person," but not quite all of them.

        Replying to @prophet_of_loss @golferdawn and

        The Citizens United ruling had 2 main points: (1) that money = speech and (2) that corporations have 1st Amendment protection to free speech. I think (1) is pretty non-controversial, so objections are probably based on (2).

        Replying to @prophet_of_loss @golferdawn and

        ...and before arguing that corporations should *not* enjoy free speech rights, think what effect that ruling could have on corporations such as CNN, FOX, MSNBC, Reuters, Google, the movie studios, record companies, etc. All of those would become open to government control.

        Seriously? You're kidding, right. Freedom of the Press is protected under the 1st Amendment. I don't see any need for the corporations to be designated as a person, no matter what corporation it is.

        Nope, not kidding. You're actually using the same line of reasoning that Kennedy uses in the C.U. opinion: that the Freedom of the Press clause of the 1st Amendment protects associations of individuals in addition to individual speakers.
