There is NO JUSTICE except CORPORATE JUSTICE!
Sig Heil!!!
"High court justices cut stock holdings in 2007" by Mark Sherman and Daniel Lovering, Associated Press | June 7, 2008
WASHINGTON - Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito, whose investments forced them to sit out cases before the Supreme Court, have significantly reduced their stock holdings, their latest financial disclosures show.
Roberts sold all his shares in four companies last year - Becton Dickinson & Co.,
Alito sold all his stock in
"Intel business practices face investigation" by Bloomberg News | June 7, 2008
SAN FRANCISCO - The Federal Trade Commission opened a formal investigation into Intel Corp.'s business practices, heightening worldwide scrutiny of the tactics the chip maker uses to dominate the $31 billion computer processor market."
Now back to our originally scheduled post:
The information was contained in the justices' annual report on their finances, released yesterday. It was not clear whether the justices took advantage of a recent change in federal law that allows them to defer paying taxes on capital gains by reinvesting the proceeds in mutual funds, government bonds or other investments.
Unreal. Why should they have ANY INVESTMENTS!??
They have a LIFETIME JOB with the bill picked up by TAXPAYERS!!!!
Justice Stephen Breyer, who also has had to step aside from cases at the court because of his investments, sold some stock as well, but retains shares in dozens of companies and did not appear to alter his investment pattern.
CORPORATE JUSTICES for CORPORATE COURTS!!!
The issue of investments arose most recently last month when the court could not muster enough justices to consider whether to intervene in a case.
Not like the court is COMPROMISED or anything! AmeriKan justice!!!!
Alito, Breyer, and Roberts all have investments in companies that were asking the court to kill a lawsuit alleging that the companies aided South Africa's former apartheid government.
WTF?! They DIDN'T DIVEST?
Federal law calls for at least six of the nine justices to hear any case, but only five were eligible for this one. Justice Anthony Kennedy did not participate because his son works for one of the companies being sued.
Roberts was able to engage in two cases that he initially stayed out of because of the stock sales.
Like he isn't going to have sympathy for those companies that mad him $$$$, right?
Alito, though he sold $100,000 to $250,000 in Exxon Mobil stock last year, retains shares valued in the same range."
Same conflict!
