   "WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court will weigh next week whether corporations can be sued in the United States for suspected complicity in human rights abuses abroad, in a case being closely watched by businesses concerned about long and costly litigation.
   
   The case before the court pits the Obama administration and human rights advocates against large companies and foreign governments over allegations that Royal Dutch Shell Plc helped Nigeria crush oil exploration protests in the 1990s.
   
   Administration attorneys and lawyers for the plaintiffs contend corporations can be held accountable in U.S. courts for committing or assisting foreign governments in torture, executions or other human rights abuses.
   
   Attorneys for corporations argue that only individuals, such as company employees or managers involved in the abuse, can be sued, a position adopted by a U.S. appeals court in New York. Other courts ruled corporations can be held liable."

      Halliburton, DynCorp, Monsanto, - Oh wait, Obama's never shown any interest in those corporations and their crimes against humanity.

         Since a corporation is treated with all the same rights as an individual in a court of law, I'd be interested to know how real human individuals who are implicated in these corporate 'endeavors' are singled out. The duplicity of the courts is mind boggling and infuriating.

            Well the courts are complicit in the whole corporate personhood scam.  I'm sure they were selected based on their stances, and knowing how they'd be expected to rule on such concepts from the git go.

            Don't you know, 1 billion dollars is equal to one?
            
            That's in lifestyle, quality of life...everything! We are all equal in Capitalism.
            
            Funny though, that we don't follow the same laws. Wait, edit: Not subject to the law equally.
            
            And what good is a system when you have that albatross?

      But why can't we prosecute banks?  Don't banks generally make money on both sides of every conflict?
      
      We could hang Evelyn De Rothschild on international tv like Saddam, who's probably nowhere near the trouble.
      
      ...but I'm never very hopeful on the global political stage...oh some bad guys might go to prison, but it'll only be selected "fall guys."...public sacrifices meant to encourage the slave classes into thinking that justice exists.

         "Slave Classes". If it weren't so true it'd be funny. Keeping the public in a constant state of fear over one thing or another is what they do best. Lulling them into complacency by 'seeing justice served' is their second priority.
