Corporate America Salivating Over Supreme Court Vacancy

Via The Huffington Post David Sirota alerts us to the behind-the-scenes manouvering that may be going on by Corporate America over possibly filling the vacancy created by the retirement of Justice O'connor. You can just imagine it, can't you - a group of sweaty, cigar-smoking executives and lobbyists are right now sitting around a mahogany conference table somewhere on K Street rubbing their greasy palms together and plotting how to make sure that just the right corporate hack will replace Justice Sandra Day O'Connor on the Supreme Court. You can almost hear their pulses accelerating and their hormones flowing - the prospect of putting one of their own on the Supreme Court is exactly what arouses these guys and exactly what they fantasize about when the lights shut off in their mansions at night. You can bet your last penny that Sirota has nailed this one on the head. Between the right-wing nutjobs of the Christian right and the corporate money men who support the Republican party the progressive population of the US will not stand a chance.
