Hartmann: Your Take, My Take - The true face of an elitist mentality

Your Take, My Take is the segment of the show when we answer your questions, comments, criticisms and opinions heard on "The Big Picture." Last week - I told you about a leaflet that had been dropped on Occupy Chicago protestors by the one percent at the Chicago Board of Trade - and I said that what will define the next step the one percent takes in the aftermath of the Occupy Wall Street movement is not the dollar amounts in their bank accounts, but rather their patriotism. Viewers had something to say about that.

Hartmann: It's time to Occupy the Courts

With Occupy Wall Street in full swing - it's time to begin a new occupation...of our nation's court system. Today we learned that corporations are spending millions and millions of dollars meddling in judicial elections around the nation. In fact - a new report by the Brennan Center for Justice, the NYU School of Law, and other independent judicial watchdogs - finds that just three corporate lobbyist groups - the Ohio Chamber of Commerce - the Business Council of Alabama - and the Illinois Civil Justice League - have outspent the ENTIRE labor movement in judicial elections around the nation. Those groups alone spent over $3 million last year making sure that corporate-friendly justices find their way onto benches everywhere. There's long been a debate over what kind of judge is best - one elected by the people as most state judges are - or one appointed by the President as most federal judges are. But the truth is - now that corporations are allowed to spend unlimited amounts in our elections - both types of judges have been corrupted - transformed from professional jurists into corporate shills.
