Supreme Court strikes blow against spreading menace of democracy

Supreme Court

The scourge of freedom is on the run!

Reuters: The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday expanded how much political donors can give candidates and parties in federal elections by striking down a key pillar of campaign finance law.

On a 5-4 vote, the court struck down the overall limits on how much individuals can give to candidates, parties and political action committees in total during the federal two-year election cycle.
Seriously, I don’t understand what the plebians are complaining about. After all, they have as much right to buy a politician as a Wall Street billionaire.

Blatant and shameless oligarchy, here we come…
