Voting rights, gay rights, immigration rights, criminal justice rights, privacy rights, equal access to health care and quality education.
And corporate rights.
Bingo!
I forgot that one.
Should have listed that first.
In 2010 by a 5-4 vote in the Citizens United case the Supreme Court ruled that corporations are persons and all money spent on political activity is "free speech."
Campaign finance is a real Wild West show now, dark money galore.
Quote:Hilary will deliver the TPP TISA and TTIP.
That's got nothing to do with the Supreme Court.
Besides, it's up to the Revolution to rise up and protest so intensely that she'll have to back off or face real political peril.
Quote:Trump for all his faults is against those sort of trade deals.
No, he isn't. He's all for them in his business -- he manufactures all kinds of stuff all over the world, but not here in the States.
He knows a lot of folks are unhappy and want to hear anti-trade talk, so he feeds his audience what they want to hear.
Donald Trump is addicted to attention.
That's all he wants.
Once Trump took office the Globalist wing of the Republican Party would take over.
Quote:And he's wanting a reduced military and NATO and good relations with Russia (even if poor relations with Mexico)
No, Trump does not want reduced military spending.
He constantly claims our military is a "disaster" and he's the man to rebuild it.
Russia is the only country he wants to have good relations with.
Why?
Because Putin called him a "genius."
And probably he's deeply indebted to the Russian Mafia.
Donald Trump has no ideology, no principles, no goals other than his own self-aggrandizement.
