"WASHINGTON ? Sweeping aside a century-old understanding and overruling two important precedents, a bitterly divided Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that the government may not ban political spending by corporations in candidate elections."

I guess now corporations can skip lobbyists and go straight to the people to get what they want.

FVCK!!!!! The wacko right was right- we've lost the country- only it didn't come from the politicians or Obama but from the activist Supreme Court Judges.
The Borg has now firmly assumed control of the country.

Well, I guess the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act was for naught.

May-be they are tired of all your left wing nut job crap and went to somewhere else to have a real debate about it.

Or they are still partying because the left nut jobs got the nuts slapped this week.

You are growing painfully tiresome. The only thing posted in this thread about the decision has been iniuendo and hearsay. That is nothing to debate on. So, why not take excerpts from the decision, and discuss their merits?

Here\'s a copy! Knock yourself out!

Bingo. Shinobinoz's unfounded assumptions about any 1 remotely Right Wing were amusing at 1st, but now are just getting irritating.

Hey- I posted my link. Did you forget to knock yourself out?

I agreed with El Tino's post. No one has countered that. So I was waiting for some educated posting. NONE have been forthcoming from the wrong Right!

I also agree with Stevens:
"The novelty of the Court?s procedural dereliction and its approach to stare decisis is matched by the novelty of its ruling on the merits. The ruling rests on several premises. First, the Court claims that Austin and McConnell have ?banned? corporate speech. Second, it claims that the First Amendment precludes regulatory distinctions based on speaker identity, including the speaker?s identity as a corporation. Third, it claims that Austin and McConnell were radical outliers in our First Amendment tradition and our campaign finance jurisprudence. Each of these claims is wrong."

Are you relying soley on your link to do your talking or do you have an opinion based on some facts?

Unfounded eh? We presented fact. We get none in return only personal attacks.

Why are you leftists whining? Now the unions, moveons, PACs, etc can spew their venom at will during election cycles. Oh wait, they were already allowed to. Carry on.

They have no where near the money of CEO's and corporations. This ruling just locked real "persons" out of our first amendment rights and gave it to false entities that are not persons.
