Did Clarence get a new motorhome for this one?

Wait ... that way, according to a ruling Clarence just made, the payoff will be a "gratuity" and not a "bribe."

The favoritism towards corporations by the conservatives on this SCOTUS is completely shameless.

Are you all aware that prior to Dodd Frank this is the exact process the SEC had to go through? Read Gorsuch's concurrence. If you care at all about 7Azanr due process rights you'll understand why this is a sound decision. Frankly, I'm surprised it was t at least 7-2.

I don't really have a problem with this.

It'll end buddy-buddy slap on the wrist fines and force the SEC and other federal regulators to charge violations as crimes, as they should be.

Civil penalties let corporations get away with not admitting doing anything wrong.

Before Dodd Frank the masters of the universe almost caused a great depression with their fraudulent loan schemes and we barely got out of it. Dodd Frank was the answer to our crime lord financiers doing whatever the hell they want.

The only thing more outrageous than a government that claims "of and for the people" instead forcing taxpaying citizens to defend their own interests from government that lies to prosecute its citizens. We need inherent rights that enable individuals rights (not corporations) to fairly supercede bureaucrats.

@#11 ... We need inherent rights that enable individuals rights (not corporations) to fairly supercede bureaucrats. ...

And this relates to the topic at hand... how?
