Yep get some tough conservative lawyers and use the Rico Act to sue these bastards in the union and Davis's flunkee appointees.

I'm betting you will find that city,state,and federal municipalities and offices are exempt from RICO suits,as are elected and appointed public officials. THEY are the ones who wrote the laws,and they wrote them to jail or punish US,not THEM.

Actually the RICO act CAN be used against government officials. It was done in the late 80s/early90s in Sacramento when the feds set up a bogus shrimp farming company.

The whole thing was a real tragedy. It nabbed some crooks, but at least two innocent men took contributions from the company after voting for their legislation. This was NOTHING compared to what Davis has done with the plastic pipes, the prison guards and now Oracle. I don't understand why he's skating free when good men have gone to jail for just the suspicion of far less.

I'm not familiar with the Rico laws to know who is sheltered or not. I just know that they had a chilling effect on some local governments in Kali when they became law. The recent use of Rico laws against the Catholic church has had a chilling effect on them and other religions who have protected the predators from the law and their church.

Maybe we can get a lawyer. Carry Okie recommends using the Rico laws against federal and state enviral workers who use bad science to get EPA rulings based on that bad science.

Maybe Carry can clarify and answer your question.

I don't know. It could be. It would probably be an unconstitutional exemption under the 14th Amendment equal-protection clause.
