Narrow rulings like Citizens United and McCutcheon dont alarm me - TopicsExpress



          

Narrow rulings like Citizens United and McCutcheon dont alarm me in the long run. Theyre the civil rights issues of our generation, only remaining standard doctrine in U.S. law until invalidation by the better angels of our nature. When 1% of Americans control 40% of our wealth and 90% of our politicians, the Plessy v. Fergusons and Loving v. Virginias tend to right the angle of our plutocratic list. Example: “Two billionaire outsiders: the Koch brothers. The same profiteering Koch brothers who bought the Flint Hills refinery in Fairbanks, ran it into the ground and are now shutting it down.”
