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!

So literally a two tier court system. Great. Rules for thee and not for me personified.
58 0 ReplyWe 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.

Is this just arbitration codified into law.
12 0 ReplyNah. Arbitration uses a theoretically third party arbitrator.
These judges are handpicked and wholly owned by the corporations.
5 0 ReplyNah. 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.
