We want to bear witness today that we know the relation between corporate greed and what goes on too often in the Supreme Court decisions.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If corporations are people, as the Supreme Court wishes us to believe, they are stunningly unpatriotic ones.
In rendering its decision in our case, the Supreme Court equated money with speech because these days it takes the first to make yourself heard.
With Citizens United, the Supreme Court's declaration that corporations are people, the whims of one can silence the voices of millions.
We binge on instant knowledge, but we are learning the hazards, and readers are warier than they used to be of nanosecond-interpretations of Supreme Court decisions.
Greed is the inventor of injustice as well as the current enforcer.
We're lawyers. We present the arguments, and the court sorts out the merits.
At D.O.J., we don't want to go after the corporate wrongdoers simply as an end unto itself; we want to decrease the amount of corporate wrongdoing that happens in the first place. We want to restore and help protect the corporate culture of responsibility.
Discovering witnesses is just as important as catching criminals.
This is the most historic moment in Supreme Court history in our lifetime, no question about it. These are justices who are going to serve for decades.
The DISCLOSE Act is a testament to the wisdom of the Supreme Court's decision in Citizens United. The First Amendment sought to place political speech beyond the government's control, and we can be glad that it did.
