Article. Some were cursing Clarence Thomas for this. Did he write the majority opinion? It was that Obama appointee Elena Kagan, writing for a unanimous court. Who owns the National Government?

Monsanto Protection Act Proves Corporations More Powerful Than Government by Anthony Gucciardi, Natural Society
Tell President Obama to veto the Monsanto Protection Act!

I don't think he will veto it.

So who writes the laws and rules? Is it accurate to say that in the United States, commercial justice is paramount and trumps all other rights, duties, and obligations? It's a very narrow understanding of commutative justice. What then, of the rule of law, when the law is in the hands of the few, who write it for their own benefit, privileging the few who hold [economic] power, for the sake of profit and control?

Just a few weeks ago, Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Merrigan resigned. What were her reasons for doing so? Any connection to the continued dominance of Monsanto and Big Ag over the Federal Government?

Deepwater Horizon: the worst-case scenario

Richard Heinberg, Post Carbon Institute

Already Deepwater Horizon is the not only the worst oil spill, but the worst environmental disaster in U.S. history. Multiplying the scale of this existing catastrophe multiple times sends us into truly uncharted territory. ... The consequences for the oil industry as a whole would also be dire.
