Re: Supreme Court overturns Campaign Spending Limits on Corporations [URL="http://www.thewarpath.net/parking-lot/31772-scotus-citizens-united-v-federal-election.html"]No one cared then and no one cares now[/URL]. Balls and Strikes indeed. |
Re: Supreme Court overturns Campaign Spending Limits on Corporations Free speech isn't just for the poor. |
Re: Supreme Court overturns Campaign Spending Limits on Corporations Yeah, as bad as I think this is for the country the legal reasoning behind it is sound imo. Besides, it's not like corporations aren't already running the show. |
Re: Supreme Court overturns Campaign Spending Limits on Corporations Never in my life have I heard so many people upset over a victory for free speech. |
Re: Supreme Court overturns Campaign Spending Limits on Corporations In so doing, the Supreme Court is essentially saying cooperations are the same as citizens therefore afforded the same rights. Many Americans were looking for this to be a part of the "change" which was a much talked about portion of Mr. Obama's campaign platform. Cooperations are an entity unto themselves and should not be afforded the same rights as private citizens in regards to campaign contributions. The ruling grants further leway to corrupt government. Everybody can buy favors except the people. |

When you incorporate many people have essentially one voice. Who are you to say who should and should not have a voice in the US? You may not agree with what's being said but to say they have no right to have their point of view voiced? What's the deal with that? |
Re: Supreme Court overturns Campaign Spending Limits on Corporations well I can see why it was overturned but I can't say that I embrace it much at least the money will show up directly instead of through other channeling though |
