Did I not just mention how it sometimes feels like it’s all going to hell? Well, it just got a little worse.
The Supreme Court then took up the case and in its much-anticipated decision, today ruled 5-4 to allow corporations and unions to spend unlimited funds in support for, or opposition of, federal candidates. The monumental ruling throws out a “a 63-year-old law designed to restrain the influence of big business and unions on elections.
Naturally, Republicans are overjoyed.
– Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX): “It is about a nonprofit group’s ability to speak about the public issue. I can’t think of a more fundamental First Amendment issue. … [The ruling could] open up resources that have not previously been available [for Republicans].”
– Rep. Steve King (R-IA): “The Constitution protects the rights of citizens and employers to express their viewpoints on political issues. Today’s Supreme Court decision affirms the Bill of Rights and is a victory for liberty and free speech.”
Politicians have always been for sale and available to the highest bidder. This sick SCOTUS decision merely simplifies the process.

WTF is going on? Pssst, corporations are not people, this decision sucks. We already have a lot of corporate influence and now SCOTUS says okay to more. This is a death of democracy type decision. All our politicians will further be in the pockets of corporations. Shameful
In the past, the labor unions were able to run political ads (mostly for democrats), but the companies could not. Now the field is level. I thought liberals were for fairness.
@Tommy Pane, the “non-profits” Cornryn speaks of are sham organizations secretly backed by wealthy corporations. When you are not what you say you are, then fairness goes out the window.
More reason for the health care bill not to pass. Rich people don’t want to share the responsibilities of health care. They prefer to have money in executive pockets. We will become more and more like the mexican design. 10% of the rich controlling 90% of the population.

You’re right. Just when you think that things can’t get worse. What is wrong with this country?
