The 5 responsible should be impeached for incompetence. Spending money is not analogous to burning a flag, etc. Anyone can burn a flag. Not everyone has millions to drop on campaigns. This court has repeatedly failed to protect your constitutional rights and mine, yet poses as though this decision is a win for democracy. Are the corrupt pieces of garbage who populate congress going to let this decision stand? Today’s Supreme Court decision rejects decades of precedent and strikes a sharp blow against the interests of average voters. Once again the Court has struck down a law that curbs the corrupting influence of large campaign contributions in our politics. Sadly, the Court has also achieved a new milestone by striking down a federal contribution limit for the first time. Our Founders feared corruption. They did not want government beholden to narrow, elite interests. Eliminating these limits will now allow a single politician to solicit, and a single donor to give, up to $3.6 million through the use of joint fundraising committees. Following the Citizens United decision, this will further inundate a political system already flush with cash, marginalize average voters, and elevate those who can afford to buy political access.
