<DIV>Sue says I blame the wrong folks, I disagree, I blame the lawyers,
and the ones that did this are all lawyers. The proof is in the pudding.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Why is it that everyone, including Sue, that gives the example of a
good work by a lawyer it involves stopping or thwarting off the
deeds of another lawyer? Their examples only further provide
evidence the world is a better place with less or none of them.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Lawyers, politicians, and the like are worthless in a natural
environment and do not create any wealth, they just divide it and take
it from others. Real professions produce wealth and value. Lawyers do
not. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Many lawyers hide behind a false cloak of justice. But no person is
serving justice at $200 an hour and billing for endless hours. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>No other profession provides so little at such a high cost to
society. Our justice system is a joke, run by a system so corrupt
it wouldn't know justice if it bit them on the ass. When a man has
to mortgage his house and sell his car to prove his is innocent, get a
divorce, or pay off medical bills, we have a crappy legal system.
</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Lawyers use to be a noble. But now they have brought this
country's legal system and economy almost to its knees, all
for their personal profit.</DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#150e00 size=4 face=Calibri>It seems to me Donovan's
opinion is shared by a goodly number who just want to berate lawyers
for any and everything that happens in the world of politics,
malpractice suits, legal opinions and legislation. This
is NOT about the legal system. It's about 5 members of the U. S.
Supreme Court who do not care about the dangers inherent in
overturning this precedent of many years' standing. They have
been shills for corporate America for all their professional
lives. There is little reason to have expected them to make a
philosophical turn to the left and protect American citizens
rather than Dow Chemical, Halliburton, etc. I continue
to be grateful for those members of the legal profession who
serve American citizens through their efforts to protect us.
Their numbers are legion. They work in the city and state court
system, in private practice, for entities such as the Southern
Poverty Law Center, and yes, thank god, for the ACLU.
They did not make this decision, nor did they support its
outcome. They will, as will the rest of us, suffer,
as more elections are determined by corporate greed, and
with fewer winners who are committed to protecting the civil rights of
common citizens. This really is a sad outcome, but Donovan
blames the wrong folks. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV>I would say that this ruling reduces my opinion of our
legal system and the lawyers and politicians that run it,
but sadly it doesn't because it is something that I
would except a legal system that is joke as are the self
important lawyers in it.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Did the Supreme Court decision on the ban
suggest how the expense of supporting or opposing a candidate
shall be treated for tax purposes? It’s one thing to allow
corporations (and presumably unions) to spend money directly
for this purpose, but the money has to come from somewhere. Is
it to be a legitimate expense, deducted from taxes, or taken
from profit after taxes, or what? What will, and will not, the
IRS allow? And what of shareholders? If XYZ Corp supports
Sarah <SPAN><SPAN>Palin</SPAN></SPAN> for Congress from
Alaska, and a sizeable number (or even a handful) of the
shareholders are opposed to her, is this a legitimate basis
for a stockholder suit? I suspect this decision by the Supreme
Court, while seemingly favorable to big business, is not as
cut and dried as it first appears. </P></DIV></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal>And if corporations have the same rights as
individuals to spend money directly, do corporations have the
same limits imposed on their expenditures as are exerted on
individuals? What of non-profit corporations such as churches?
Can they now openly support or oppose an individual or group
at election time? This seems like a subject made for the
Viz—opinions will fly fast and furious and facts will be slow
to develop. Oh boy! Watch the mud being slung!
