Chris Hedges [previously] and Lawrence Lessig discuss the fundamental blow to democracy embodied in the Citizens United decision, the corporate capture of governance, the decline of American radicalism, and the need to Occupy the Courts.
The program notes, from Occupy TVNY:
On January 20th, occupiers across the country rallied together in protest against the insidious influence of the corporations over the judiciary. Shortly before the rally in Foley Square, New York CIty, Lawrence Lessig and Chris Hedges met in front of Occupy TVNY’s cameras to discuss their vision of change.
