I heard about this on the 5pm news... this is not good, as we know
what
the big companies do when they have a chance. They screw us over so
they
can make more money.
Imagine being blocked by your ISP because they provide a competing
service..




Welcome to our government with it's hands in the pockets of large

corporations.
It's more like big corps having their hands wrapped around the nuts
of the government -- and squeezing.

No... it's more like the courts making simply stupid decisions. You
can't
blame corpororations for what they try to do - you have to blame the
courts
for how they decide.


The supreme court does NOT write laws. That is not what they do (look
it up).

That's correct, but there has been plenty of legislating from the bench.

I believe you. But I think in theory, there is not supposed to be.



so while you think they don't write the laws, in some cases they do.
Imminent domain comes to mind.
