I think his point was that the OWS protests (inasmuch as they are about anything) are about the injustice of a legal system that allows banks/corporations to get away with all kinds of crap, and pass the proceeds along to their shareholders.

The problem is that you can’t easily break the unjust Citizens United ruling. So what do you do? It’s just not the same kind of legal situation as with, e.g., segregated restaurants. But the injustice is potentially just as great.

It’s less injustice and more systemic cancer that threatens the country’s foundation, IMHO
