It's going to take increasing the size of the Supreme Court so that the judges who are bought off don't have the power to block it

Heh. Now I don't think you're going to make a whole lot of friends seizing company assets, but this IS kinda funny.

Oil and gas companies have already made themselves enemies of the planet and everyone on it so honestly they can fuck right off.

What company assets are you even referring to? This is about seizing profits, you know like fines and taxes already do. I think you'd make a lot of friends seizing profits from these already subsidized companies that are doing great harm to the biosphere, but you do you.
