The odd thing is that these people are playing a long game to protect a short game.
It seems to me that the primary goal here is unfettered access to the ability to make huge, short term profits and damn the consequences to those that are injured.
If these corporations took a longer view of making profits and settled for less immediate money over a longer period of time, they would actually be richer down the road… but they don’t want to let go of the illusion that they are in control.
As for sedition, I believe that it is unconstitutional, and should be illegal, to have public servants swear any type of allegiance except to the American people. I see Norquist’s signed pledge as a legitimate attempt to subvert a government meant to be ‘of the people, by the people and for the people’. A public servant’s oath should be to support and defend the constitution, thereby serving the interests of the people, not a person. Period. -
