Supreme Court Justices Reject Corporate Spending Limit because it supposedly ATTACKS FREE SPEECH. Of corporations. Which are corporations and not citizens.
I think perhaps my current precaffeinated state of mind is not capable of the necessary nuanced thinking here, or something. I can't see how this is a partisan issue, I can't see how it would be any good to any body, in any way, at all to allow any corporation (international or not???) to donate unlimited funds to whatever political effort will smooth their way at the expense of individual citizens.
I think it would be an excellent idea for my fellow Americans to go here:

...and attempt to let their Congresspersons know that they disapprove of the Supreme Court allowing corporate entities to spend unlimited amounts of money to influence elections.
I don't understand why this isn't all across the headlines today, I really don't..
