1. Supreme Court Rejects Campaign Spending Limits →

    soupsoup:

    The Supreme Court has ruled that corporations may spend freely to support or oppose candidates for president and Congress, easing decades-old limits on their participation in federal campaigns. …

    The justices also struck down part of the landmark McCain-Feingold campaign finance bill that barred union- and corporate-paid issue ads in the closing days of election campaigns. …

    Back to business as usual, your vote can again be bought. The Supreme Count rules that Cash Rules Everything Around Me. The RZA (Roberts), The GZA (Ginsberg), Old Dirty John Paul Stevens, Ghostface Sotomayor, and The M’alito Man.

    Anthony, I seek a partial retraction. Justices Ginsberg, Stevens and Sotomayor  dissented in Citizens United v. FEC (except for upholding BRCA §201, §311 disclosures.)
