The Corporate Court: How the Supreme Court Just Declared Open Season on Your Rights

Dina Doll and MeidasTouch Network

As the Supreme Court wrapped its term this week with a flurry of headline-grabbing decisions, one theme emerged like a flashing red light: the Court is systematically making it harder for people to enforce their rights—while throwing open the courthouse doors for corporations. This isn’t an accident. It’s the Koch brothers’ long game coming to full bloom.

Senator Sheldon Whitehouse has long warned of the dark money operation shaping the federal judiciary. Now, the evidence is on full display. Let’s examine three recent Supreme Court decisions that show exactly how the Court is working by design to tilt the scales of justice.

1. Trump v. CASA de Maryland — Limiting Nationwide Protections

In Trump v. CASA, the Court didn’t just dodge a ruling—it took a sledgehammer to a key tool used to protect civil rights nationwide. The case involved a Trump-era immigration policy that civil rights groups challenged as discriminatory. Though the specific policy was rescinded, the Court used the opportunity to wipe away the lower court ruling and signal that nationwide injunctions—long used to halt unconstitutional policies—are on thin ice.

Instead of allowing one federal judge to block unlawful policies nationwide, individuals must now file repetitive, expensive lawsuits in multiple jurisdictions—or hope their case gets consolidated into a class action. Either way, justice is delayed—and increasingly denied.

while ignoring prior rulings that are so pertinent you’d have to be corrupt not to see it.

Did I say corrupt?
