The radical activist judges have decided that Corporations are people and that spending unlimited amounts of money to buy elections is protected as a First Amendment right. Now a bush appointed judge has decided that Big Tobacco has the right to kill off millions and that the government can't force them to put unpleasant pictures on their cigarette packages that would discourage people from smoking. Showing people the results of their using the drug violates their first amendment right to kill off people.
http://www.nationaljournal.com/healthcar...Tobacco kills six million people each year, and this is allowed mainly because profits are more important than people's lives. The tobacco companies have billions to influence lawmakers so of course no one will do anything to cut into their profits.
Most of those lives are in third world countries and we are encouraging developing countries to place the same controls on tobacco that most developed nations do. Now it seems that the activist judges want to go backwards and turn America into a third world country.
http://southasia.oneworld.net/globalhead...The government is meant to serve the corporations after all, and should just get out of the way and not bother itself with such trifles as protecting people's lives. So what will be next? Let them lie about toxic chemicals or poisons in our food? They have the right to tell any lie. That is just free speech.
But then I wonder why the government cares so much about preventing people from using Medical Marijuana?
