Awaiting Reid Koch rant in 3, 2...

[DINGO Joe]

I'd chip in to start running attacks ads against Roberts, Scalia, Thomas.

[krazen1211]

Excellent news!

[Potatoe]

*Shudders*, so, uh, please no Citizens United 2.0.

[AggregateDemand]

Media corporations can already make unlimited non-cash contributions. Limiting other corporations and individuals is unconstitutional and pointless.

[Consciously Unconscious]

Excellent news!

It is indeed.  Freedom decision.

[Snowstalker Mk. II]

Disgusting fiends.

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

Excellent news!

Krazen: The Salem years

Krazen: "Innocent women were executed in Massachusetts after they were accused of being witches?  Excellent news!  Now they won't have any more children whose descendants might vote for a Democrat in 2014."

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

On a more serious note, I guess its not like this sort of legalized bribery hasn't been going on for a while, but this is still a sad day for American democracy.

[Joe Republic]

Anything other than an unabashed plutocracy isn't befitting the United States.

[Zioneer]

I don't usually go all Snowstalker, but seriously, this codifies the the rule of the plutocracy.

[Small Business Owner of Any Repute]

We are so unbelievable f***ed in this country I want to cry

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

We are so unbelievable f***ed in this country I want to cry

We have been for quite a while, but yeah, I'm worried someday 30 or 40 years from now I'll wake up and I won't even recognize this country anymore.  The times, they are changing

[AggregateDemand]

Nearly all citizens over the age of 18 can vote. Why is it necessary to silence some of the people with money, while media corporations do virtually whatever they want (including FoxNews)?

Only liberals with an unreasonably grim view of humanity can despair over something so small.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

A permanent move to Europe is looking more and more tempting by the day.

Remember to move all of your money to a off shore bank account.  Don't want to pay all of those taxes.

[Starbucks Union Thug HokeyPuck]

Money rules all in America.  No surprise.  We can only hope reversals in the future at the judicial level as we've seen with many issues over time.

Take me to your leader sock-master.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Ugh.  I hate it when I agree with krazen about something.

That's all it ever comes down to with you guys, isn't it?  Money money money.  'Screw you poor folk, I got mine!'

Because it should be one person, one vote, and the same amount of free speech for everyone. The rich should not be able to have more free speech than the poor.

Why not?  We are essentially taught throughout our lives that this is a prudent, responsible, and good thing. 

[nuclearneo577]

The final and complete American plutocracy, brought to you by Ronald Reagan, George H. W. Bush and George W. Bush's appointed judges. Now it's just a matter of time before the American people realize what party is responsible for letting the rich ruin this country and do something about it.

[DemPGH]

It seems now that those five judges are simply bent on dismantling anything, no matter how sensible, that ensures that our government is actually a government. At this point, it's basically for sale.
