Little by little the Non-geographical corporate states, through the corruption of the Congress and the Supreme Court, are seeing that laws are passed, and court interpretations given that immunize them from any legal action by citizens. Here is the latest example — that you didn't hear about on the evening news, or read in your local paper.
