They can't? Do you have a clue about US business law? Do you think it is illegal for a foreign corporation to simply buy up a majority stock position in a US firm, and then install it's own management? It is not. Do you think it is illegal for a foreign national to start his own US corporation? It is not. Do you think it is illegal for foreigners to sit on the boards of US corporations? It is not. You guys amaze me, you want so much for the obviousness of this ruling not to be true, you'd buy that kind of assinine hair-splitting argument. This is a granting of power in the US political system to foreign nationals. Tell me how it is not.
