Now THIS is a feminist issue

Hey friends, enjoy having no rights, forever! Especially ladies, apparently you got discriminated against too many times for the Supreme Court. This country is horrible!

"The Supreme Court put the brakes on a massive job discrimination lawsuit against mega-retailer Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., saying sweeping class-action status that could potentially involve hundreds of thousands of current and former female workers was simply too large.

The ruling Monday was a big victory for the nation's largest private employer, and the business community at large.

The high-profile case– perhaps the most closely watched of the high court's term– is among the most important dealing with corporate versus worker rights that the justices have ever heard, and could eventually impact nearly every private employer, large and small.

The case is Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Dukes (10-277)."

The liberals sided with the ability of government to seize properties and turn them over to businesses. As I said, I disagree with the eminent domain decision as much as I disagree with this WalMart decision, but saying that there's any connection between the two cases proves you don't know what you're talking about.

I never said there was a connection.

I'm just showing how you are being ridiculous by saying that conservatives hate people and love corporations, while liberals always vote for the people (unless it's about raising tax revenue by taking peoples' homes away so fancy hotels can get built. LOL!)

I never said the libs on the court are perfect. They seem to be a bit enamored of certain types of government power (eminent domain being one of them). That being said, just because they sided with the use of eminent domain (because they hew to a philosophy of greater government power) doesn't mean that they "love corporations" or are against "the people". They would have supported government use of eminent domain no matter what the government ultimately decided to do with the land (make it into a park, build a government building on it, erect a monument to Mao...)
