That’s why Big Business took such an interest in Supreme Court nominations, directly coordinating with the White House to vet potential nominees. That’s why Corporate America salivated when Bush nominated Roberts - Big Money’s "go-to lawyer," according to his associates. That’s why wealthy executives cheered when Bush later nominated Sam Alito, the guy Businessweek noted "consistently has come down on the side of limiting corporate liability, limiting employee rights, and limiting federal regulation." And sadly, that’s why the confirmation hearings carefully avoided serious discussion about the economic issues. It’s all because Big Business and their bought-off politicians understand the advantage they get by infiltrating the inside of the court with their vermin. They understand, in short, the private profit potential of performing a hostile takeover of America’s court system.
The result is that the Court is becoming even more complicit in helping Big Money interests transform the legal system into the sharp, poisoned-tipped arrowhead of Big Business’s profit spear - rather than a shield protecting America’s citizens. This has come into especially stark relief over the last few weeks.
First, the Supreme Court overturned a lower court ruling that would have invalidated many of the most egreiously wasteful taxpayer-funded subsidies to already wealthy corporations. Ohio taxpayers made the compelling case that these subsidies illegally rig interstate commerce. The court responded not only by overturning the lower court’s ruling, but actually stripping all taxpayers of ever bringing similar suits in the future, thus cementing these corporate giveaways in stone.
Remember, these are giveaways - and often come with horrific consequences. As Greg LeRoy documents in his explosive book The Great American Jobs Scam, these subsidies often cost taxpayers billions, force taxpayers to sholder the burden with higher taxes, and never compel companies who are benefitting from the largesse to actually deliver on their promises of jobs and better wages. We saw this recently when New York politicians of both parties eagerly handed Goldman Sachs - one of the wealthiest companies in the world - millions in taxpayer-funded loans/bonds to finance the investment bank’s palatial new headquarters, all at a time when the state/city governments were saying they had to slash transit workers benefits.
