This is a very interesting idea, but I am not sure how it will work in reality. We will see.

As I have said before, this 5-4 SCOTUS will be able to dictate which corporations are allowed to skirt the law, which laws are open to be skirted, and the extent of the skirting. This confidence makes me think all of their rulings will be to the utmost advantage of the pet corporate profits, personal religious ideology of its corporate officers, and picking and choosing which laws and policies are most beneficial to the corporation.

In other words, we have now entered the era of the Christian Corporate States of America. We are witness to a Constitutional crisis that exposes a huge hole in need of amendment. An out of control SCOTUS is something the Founding Fathers never counted on. Our Republican Congress and Republican led states will do nothing but encourage this behavior so no remedy will be coming anytime soon. Sorry to be a bummer.

I should amend my previous statement where I stated Congress will do nothing. Should the SCOTUS all of a sudden turn Democrat majority by means of vacancy, all of a sudden Republican Congress will introduce resolutions, bills, and possibly an amendment to reign SCOTUS in.

Perhaps the corporate big boys will weigh in with congress and see about getting some legislation passed to deal with this.

I merely want to say that the US Judiciary would be better off without The Federalist Society and the rest of these right-wing cranks who call themselves “lawyers”.

Hopefully, Justice Ginsburg will live another 100 years to undo this mess.

Detroit Local Powers First EV Charging Road in North America The road, about a mile from Local 58's hall, uses rubber-coated copper inductive-charging coils buried under the asphalt that transfer power to a receiver pad attached to a car's underbelly, much like how a phone can be charged wirelessly. ...
