Open question why corporate forces should have controlling clout in Congress; so long as they do, they should have some modicum of public responsibility; climate effort proves that they don’t. We should reconsider letting them have that clout when it’s used for evil. — PolitiTweet.org

This overlooks another fact: corporate politics/lobbying remains net OPPOSED to climate legislation. No safe pathway on climate without a serious bill; no net corporate support (near-zero individual corporate support) for serious bill; do the math. https://t.co/F6Ta8m7rON — PolitiTweet.org

It’s not in the Constitution, by the way. Corporate political power was slowly and steadily invented and grown by Republicans on the Supreme Court. — PolitiTweet.org
