Supreme Court Rules for Wal-Mart, Against Complainants in Sex Discrimination Case | AlterNet

First there was the disastrous "citizen's united" ruling and, now, here's yet another example of how urgently we need to overhaul/change the Supreme Court.

1.) Change the nomination/appointment process. 2.) Throw out the "for life" clause in the appointments/Add the option of issuing "pink slips" for incompetence. and 3.) Add some serious independent oversight.

The Dark Ages have crept far enough into the 21st Century and I, for one, am over it.

This is a huge blow - not only to the women involved in the sex discrimination case against Mal-Wart - but to working women everywhere and to working Americans everywhere.

The message from the SCOTUS: "Screw you, workers of America. Why should we care about your little lives? We're set "for life" in our cushy positions of influence and we and our really wealthy friends and neighbors couldn't care less. Because, seriously, what are you gonna do about it? What can you do about it? Absolutely nothing. Hey, we're The Supreme Court. We're untouchable." (insert chorus of evil, cackling laughter, here.)

My response to those justices and those self-serving, self-important, bought-and-sold people like them everywhere: No one's untouchable.

"We The People...", like all whom have faced tyranny throughout history, have our limits.
