America's major corporations are now the Second Confederacy

Congress and the White House have joined in what history may consider the most disloyal political act since southern succession: making it possible for foreign tribunals to override the American constitution as well as state and local laws. Essentially our major corporations have become a Second Confederacy. At least when the first one appeared, Washington maintained its loyalty to the union. Now the president and even 13 Democrats in the Senate have deserted our Constitution and other laws - not to mention our workers -in a contemptible act of compliance to the Corporate Confederacy.
