THE SUPREME COURT expanded the scope of a human rights violation case to the American juridical system, to be determined beginning October. The first involves deciding whether conrporations can be sued as responsible parties for torture on foreign soil, which seems to question the obvious since if a U.S. corporation is responsible for torture, it should be sued, as torture is a big no-no here, where its headquarters are and internationally everywhere. By the same line of reasoning, Alito falls out of the no-no zone by opening the case to an evaluation of if American courts are responsible for judgments on torture, his claim being that they aren't an opening to the acceptance of torture as a practice uncorrectable by the American Court system. American courts have been trying these cases since the 1980s.
