Re: RIP

not only that, but it ensures that there will be no innovation in the spehere for decades to come. The SCOTUS is officially bought out.

Surely been paid off by their lobbyist buddies.
As usual.
I guess that since corporations are people, they feel that they are still doing their work for the people.
AFAIC, corporations are not people, and the country has lost its way, and is now not a country of WE THE PEOPLE, but one of them, the corporations.

More likely is that you are just plain wrong in thinking Aero wasn't in fact stealing and reselling a product legally owned by others. Opinions that differ from yours (who obviously has no training in law) are not always based on fraud and bribes.

I know that's hard for you to digest but split decisions on the Supreme Court have been a fact of life since the start of this country. Your efforts to debase their efforts based solely on your own limited knowledge is not at all helpful. The solution lies with Congress and not the Courts. A rather common outcome if the truth be known.

There are pills for paranoia you know.

Yeah, this sucks. A really terrible decision by the SCOTUS, although not nearly at the level of Citizens United.

Since Aereo was technically conducting business within the letter of the law, but were found to be in violation of operating similarly to a cable company, couldn't the lobbyists be convicted of bribery since they, too, are surely acting the part despite their keeping within the technical boundaries of the law?

The lobbyists are not considered to be bribing. They are considered to be making political contributions.

Yet, similar to how Aereo acts like a cable TV provider, the lobbyists are acting like they are bribing politicians for favors. If we had a jury to rule on this, I'm sure we'd find them all guilty; the politicians, lobbyists, and the corporations that use them.
