For US Corporations the Whole of the Law Shall Be 'Do What Thou Wilt'

09-30-2010 • JessesCrossRoadsCafe.blogspot.com/

How can the courts find that judicial constructs like corporations have the protections and privileges of the Bill of Right, but become strict constructionalistic and literal in allowing that they can engage policies and actions supporting and provoking the commission of heinous crimes such as murder and torture without any collective liability? This was not the decision of some rogue sadist, but the cold and calculated corporate business decision in the pursuit of profit. Corporations implement policy decisions collectively all the time, often of a magnitude to engage the power of the entire organization, even if the actual decision to proceed rested within a small circle of decision makers. In principle they act as officers for the corporation. And when it comes time for the prosecutions and investigations, managers from the CEO's on down don't know anything about the business, and have apparently been accepting their enormous paychecks for what seems to be benignly vacuous inertia in la dolce vita in absentia, on a pile of wiped emails and shredded documents. Someone was obviously paying attention during the last international war crimes trials. Maybe it will be good for the business recovery. I would imagine quite a few European, South American, and Asian companies seeking to reincorporate themselves in Delaware to achieve carte blanche against civil liabilities for increasingly uncivil acts. It seems to have worked for Royal Dutch Shell. After all, quite a few credit card companies relocated key operations to western states that encouraged the practice of interstate usury. Debasement of the currency is not the only thing that the US seems to have underway and well in hand. I wonder if the European Union will grant the same privilege to their own corporations, to advantage themselves at will on the American Public in acts of violence and torture? Would the US judiciary extend professional courtesy and acknowledge the EU's sovereign right to suspend the protections of the individual as long as the crimes were corporate?

It is the judiciary that is supposed to mitigate, instead of being an accomplice, in the criminal activities of a nation. To bad, they have taken that position but it is that position that they often historically have taken in most nations. The Nazis, the Salem Witch Hunts and Spanish Inquisition are but a few of the abhorrence’s that have occurred because the Judiciary is unwilling to do the job they take an Oath to do. Until a better judicial system is devised, I believe we shall not learn from the experiences of others. Repairing The Scales of Justice is my attempt at doing this. http://hskiprob.wordpress.com And until we do correct the malfeasants within the judicial process we will be bound by those that benefit by its corruption.
