WASHINGTON — Hundreds of protesters marched in Washington on Sunday, angered at what they said was the US government's willingness to bail out rich corporations while neglecting the nation's hard-pressed citizens.
Republicans have begun to line up against the "Occupy Wall Street" movement that began on September 17. During an appearance Thursday on ABC’s Top Line, Republican Rep. Paul Broun of Georgia claimed the protest was an attack on freedom.
Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that the ongoing "Occupy Wall Street" demonstration in Manhattan and other cities was similar to the tea party movement.
The Supreme Court heard oral arguments today on a case between AT&T and the Federal Communications Commission, revisiting the legal concept of “corporate personhood” last strengthened under the court’s Citizens United ruling on corporate campaign spending. (That controversial ruling has its first anniversary this week.)
