Add me to the "Too Much" category.
Roberts pretends to uphold the Constitution, with his birthright opinion, while turning SCOTUS into a GOP protection racket.
Lol. Republicans complaining about republican policies. Making corps ppl was their idea, and now they complain its gone too far... Make no mistake, any gop member that doesnt like this policy is only complaining because they aren't profiting enough.
Well, the old saying, “If the right one doesn’t get you then the left one will”…seems to be the game. There’s always another loophole waiting in the wings. Let’s face it. The Republicans are the masters of finding rather disruptive anti-democracy loopholes. Democrats are the master of…?
Another Roberts special brought to you by W and people like YOU!
That’s the point; it’s so they can still control the narrative and the politicians to be corrupt and intentionally NOT work for the people! Vote progressive all the way, to get money out of politics! They need to make a bill/law!
You have to get rid of this SCOTUS. I don’t know how, while respecting the Constitution and the Rule of Law.
Legitimate question: I watched coverage of this issue yesterday and never got an answer to my question. With this ruling does it make it easier for an outside power like Russia from dropping billions of dollars into the GOP coffers to buy an American election? Thanks in advance for any information.
The first corruption came from the so-called Republican "Conservatives" who sold out their agenda for enough votes to win the South. You guys remember that, don't you?
You could find some ancient artifacts and if somehow you could determine that they render a judgment on issues brought before them, you would have the equivalent of the Supreme Court who only hold magical powers that a complacent and oppressed society confer upon it. What a sad story America is.
And the next Dem administration will do absolutely nothing about it... Watch....
Imagine how every citizen's quality of life would improve if 50% of the donations by big corps/dark money currently put into campaigning was instead used to help pay health ins, fund SNAP, buy tablets or laptops for school kids. Or any other of a 100 ideas that could improve someone's life.
Q: What kind of person looks at the absolute state of US politics today and the out of control power of the billionaires and thinks, ‘I know. What we really need now is more money in politics’? A: A Supreme Court justice.
First it was “money is political speech”. Now it’s “the president can pick and choose who he wants to remove from independent authorities to make new appointees beholden to the president”. This all but guarantees chaos and independent institutions being unjustly influenced by politics.
Pushing through a bill with NO VOTES to cover up the fact of TREASON in our government should be investigated. TREASON is siding with a foreign entity. Why would the House Rules committee push a no votes bill? Virginia Foxx, Michelle Fischbach, Chip Roy R traitors www.military.com/israel-defen...
This is not just money, this is billions of dollars!
Vote blue
Serious Q: if we can't limit $$ in campaigns, why can't we limit duration of campaigns? Spend all the money you want, but you only have 6 months to campaign for pres, senate and congress.
Money has corrupted the supreme court.
