KIOBEL v. ROYAL DUTCH PETROLEUM CO PLC (The future of corporations power in the US)

http://caselaw.findlaw.com/us-2nd-circuit/1538779.html

Basically this case explains that corporations are liable as juridical persons under domestic law does not mean that they are liable under international law (and, therefore, under the ATS). If it is found that the they are liable under international law then it may be the start to overturn the Supreme Court decision Citizens United. This case law is sort of long but very interesting and is very important for the future of the United States.
