I understand that the the U.S. government is siding with Norfolk Southern, the railroad giant behind the Ohio train derailment disaster, in a Supreme Court case that could help the company block future lawsuits, including from victims of the recent derailment. This is unacceptable. Norfolk Southern is asking the Supreme Court to overturn Pennsylvania law and restrict where corporations can be sued, upending centuries of precedent. Why would the President and the DOJ come out in favor of such a thing? To protect interstate commerce and our “trade interests?” Since when are such interests more important than the American people’s? Please stop putting corporations over us and withdraw your support for this lawsuit! Thanks.
