Let's not even pretend

If this ruling is upheld (and 5 to 4 it will be) then say goodbye to even pretending we're not a kleptocracy.

A U.S. judge has ruled that the campaign finance law banning corporations from making contributions to federal candidates is unconstitutional, saying that a recent Supreme Court decision gives companies the same right to donate as individual citizens enjoy.

    Google AP links don't work so good (for AP, it's not a bug, it's a feature). It's not like AP (All Propaganda) is unavailable anywhere else:

    Its too bad that John Edwards turned out to be a sleaze. I remember his admonition regarding our corporate masters, "They will take everything".

    I already gave up pretending several decades ago. Reagan sort of sealed that.

    Why do they even bother? Everyone knows /Citizens United solved the problem. Nothing to do for the Supremes but tidy up a bit around the asshole they perversely share for pleasure.
