Taser International (TASR) just 'lost' Supreme Court of USA
Making it personal...
Behind this tragic event, there is a real irony: Judge Clarence only just got approved twenty years ago for the US Supreme Court by a 52-48 decision - remember Anita Hall, anyone? - under Bush-senior.
ReplyDeleteNow he is faced with another completely unjust taser victim in his own family.
Of course, yet again, this won't be a wake-up call, but, in the corridors of power - Clarence's vote was decisive in Bush junior's first election fraud in Florida - maybe questions will be asked during much-deserved lunch-breaks.
Maybe not.
Not holding my breath!
