12. That's a nice thought
But I'd sure think twice about starting any business if I knew some super-jury could step in and seize my assets and shut down my company. Sounds like some Third World dictator, to be perfectly honest. As a Democrat, don't you honor freedom and personal choice? This is really Orwellian.

We have laws to handle insider trading, fraud, criminal acts, bribery, pollution, etc. We have the EPA, OSHA, SEC, EEOC, and others. We need to enforce the existing rules. We do not need a world police seizing private companies because of some ill-defined failure to be socially responsible -- whatever that term if defined to mean.

And we do not need to bastardize the constitution with this.
