Senators Urge Supreme Court to Uphold Law Banning Corporate Donations

"The big surprise was a bipartisan brief from Sens. John McCain (R-Ariz.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) urging justices to let stand a Montana law that bans corporate political expenditures".

“Evidence from the 2010 and 2012 electoral cycles has demonstrated that so-called independent expenditures create a strong potential for corruption and the perception thereof,” the two Senators wrote in their brief. “The news confirms daily that existing campaign finance rules purporting to provide for ‘independence’ and ‘disclosure’ in fact provide neither.”

it seems that some politicians on both sides are finally listening to the people and expressing the corruptive potential of this asinine ruling by the stacked scotus. who IMO knew damn well what they were doing, which again IMO they have lost the ability to any longer be fair and just to "we the people" in it's one sided right wing orientation.

there is still hope for "we the people" in spite of "them the other persons". there is conscious out there among republicans. had McCain been elected his views in fairness lately would have gotten him impeached by his own party. seems they use you till they use you up. remember Reagan they couldn't say enough or praise enough, till we let it out he "COMPROMISED" AND RAISED TAXES 11 times now guess his usefulness has come to an end. those on the lower rungs of the latter, pick out a curb with a view you will be kicked Nov. 7th please click title
