Get Ready to Be Showered With Corporate Money

In an incredibly flawed opinion the United States Supreme Court on Thursday let loose the dogs of war in political fundraising.  In the name of free speech they have now taken off the final limits on what corporations can do with their checkbooks in the political arena.  The Court incredibly equated free speech and manipulation of the electoral process when they essentially ratified the practice of corporations buying elections...while leaving undisturbed the "limits" of contributions permitted by individuals

Mr. Justice hear this:  Political contributions either are free speech...and therefore cannot ever be limited...or they are not.  In your effort to reach a preconceived result you have made a mockery of the law.  The decision is flawed, intellectually dishonest and politically driven.  As stated so eloquently by Justice Stevens: 

“The difference between selling a vote and selling access is a matter of degree, not kind,” Justice Stevens wrote. “And selling access is not qualitatively different from giving special preference to those who spent money on one’s behalf.”

Oh this is a sad day in America.
