Guess the fix is in.

It's an ugly thing, the Judaical branch helping the Executive branch tear up the Constitution.

If they allow immunity to the telecoms monopoly then that will set a horrible precident.

In the US anytime a sitting government wants to circumvent some inconvenient rule of law then they just ask a corporation to do it for billions of tax dollars and then grant them immunity afterward.

It's not surprising though.

The US has never been much of a democracy even though it's politicians bandy the word around allot (and use it to justify war).

The US has been called and used to be more of a Representative Republic but now more resembles a Oligarchy.

The only representation is for the wealthy and their corporations with the focus more on corporations. For proof look at US foreign policy and privatization in the US government.
