coming from the dual nationalist head honcho of NDAA, that should tell you that Bernie's attempt to overturn the ruling means nothing other than to placate fools who do not understand the root of the problem

it's DC vaudeville smoke and mirrors..... nothing more

DC games:

'we'll (McCains Budweister money et al) push this stupid crap on top of even more stupid crap to further convolute and distract registered retards that can vote...... then we'll act like we're doing them a favor by going through the motions of appearing to help them pull a dry dildo out of their rears. This will appease them and keep them further from the root problems. Pun intended.'

so... for those of you who doubt my assertions that Bernie is doing nothing more than jerking off easy idiots with his posturing.... wake up

I dunno about that. Senator Sanders was one of only a few in Congress who pushed for hearings on Gulf War Syndrome. It took a few years - but by 1996 those hearings produced results.

Tangible results.

I have a copy of the Union Calendar No. 228 right in front of me. That changed everything - on that one issue. It was submitted on Nov. 7, 1997. And as late as 2002 repelican reporters/editors were still spinning the Senator's position on Gulf War Syndrome as if this malady itself were no more than theory - as opposed to established fact.

I think by virtue of the numbers of people behind it this measure has promise. We can make it so that members of Congress have no choice but to support it.

Well that's great. One has NOTHING to do with the other. It's nothing more than a placating bone tossed to those howling about it.

and we'll keep howling about it and you just watch - the principle of corporate personhood is coming to an end.

Let us hope that it ends soon, as in yesterday or the day before. The concept of a corporation as a person is horrifying.

.............but an incorporated (fictitious) government that deceptively incorporates it's citizens is not horrifying?

It should be.

I think you need to explain that one. It is a bit vague on what you are trying to say. Being brief is not always a good thing. It leaves to much to be assumed ( you know: ass-u-me ).

I will graciously decline. It's been discussed to the nth degree here and all over the net. Seek and ye shall find.

However, what I mention is the root of the problem and the 2010 SCOTUS ruling reflects exactly that.

Whatever. I'll keep my eye's open then and maybe remember to respond to your comment if I come across the information. You should keep a file of reply's that you have made if you are finding a lot of repeat questions.

I should? Maybe you should type in the search terms on alta vista and form your own opinions. I know to which side you lean and have no interest in sharing truth with somebody of which I no has no interest in this particular truth.

Again, tons of this exists and nearly every fact you may want to verify can be found in the vast and massive library of congress.
