>From Jo'burg it was good to see Sid's post on this issue. Just spent yesterday in our new Constitutional Court trying to help write out corporate fundamental rights from the Bill of Rights; Ralph Nader has been exceptionally helpful in putting this onto the agenda here, pointing out the many ways that corporations trump individuals' fundamental rights when the former claim right to association, privacy, political expression, etc. We'll know in a few weeks whether the Court gives an interpretation in our favour. If anyone has any scare stories about corporations trampling people via claiming fundamental rights, send 'em along to me and we can continue building public pressure on the judges (most small-l liberal-inclined) to do the right thing. Ciao!
