Texas GOP Invents Corporate Courts Ready to Do Industry's Bidding
As of the beginning of this month, corporations in Texas have access to nearly a dozen courts created specifically for the purpose of settling major business cases as well as a statewide panel that will hear appeals from the newly established courts.
Republicans allowing Corporations who Notoriously Abuse and KILL their Workers (including Child Workers) have a Separate and Bought Court System is EXACTLY why DEMOCRATS are the Deep State!
73The Federal government is going to have to stop pretending this shit isn't happening and actually deal with Texas.
They're fomenting all the worst of America, and frankly, I'm tired of playing nice.
3There is a reason Texas is rated only one lone star!

So literally a two tier court system. Great. Rules for thee and not for me personified.
58We should have a two-tier court system: one for actual people who have rights, and one for corporate non-people who don't.
The problem with this isn't that it's two-tier, it's that the tiers are straight out of Bizarro-world and absolutely ass-backwards.

Why even have a court system? Is it for the illusion of a fair trial?
I mean, just create a bot that simply rules in favor of whomever gives it the most money.
35Clarence Thomas does NOT apreciate you calling him a Bot!
13Like I give a flying FUCK what he cares about.
Because he sure doesn't give a fuck about me.

That's what we already have
4They are for the manufacturing of justifications to placate the population from turning their grievances into reductions of profits.

Corruption is bigger in Texas.
30One might call it "collaboration" between government and business, or one might call it a merger of state and corporate power.
25This feels like a news report in a montage before a post-apocalyptic movie... Not sure it's that important, but it feels like something one might see.
12Is this just arbitration codified into law.
12Nah. Arbitration uses a theoretically third party arbitrator.
These judges are handpicked and wholly owned by the corporations.
5Nah. Arbitration uses a theoretically third party arbitrator.
Third party chosen by the employer. If your boss forces you to sign an arbitration agreement you don't get to pick the third party. They do.
"They're the same picture"

No more judge shopping... Yaay...
6I can hear Musk's little heart going "pitter-patter, pitter-patter" all the way from here on the east coast.
