the chairman of Shell....

She wants to nationlize Shell? Is this even possible?

Sounds like Maxine did not investigate Shell very well. She should have at least looked at their website.

I’m pretty sure Shell is headquartered in the Netherlands.

Waters has finally shown her true colors.

When monies were being voted for the victims of the Twin Towers, Waters and her cronies held up the appropriations until she could attach a rider giving money to “all of her constituents”.

She is a liar and thief and I wish she would get term limited out.

The old biddie would have to be able to read and understand Flemish(Dutch) to know that. And given her understanding of the English language, and basic intelligence; that ain’t gonna happen.

Theoretically government could “take” an oil company on the grounds of public good. Truman threatened to nationalize the railroads during the Korean War because of labor troubles.

However the 5th Amendment prohibits “taking” without just compensation. But if it got to the point where Maxine nationalizes oil companies, the constitution is meaningless anyway.
