Think about it. The Court has just made things so much more efficient - they've eliminated the need for lobbyist middlemen!

I guess it's all a matter of whose ox gets gored or more precisely whose special interest gets the advantage. Those left of center complained little about George Soros dollars, Hollywood left dollars, trial lawyer dollars and union dollars pouring into Democratic coffers. I don't recall you posting your protest and screaming objections? Now your worried that corporate dollars may level the playing field with
your special interests. Double standard? Yeah....I know, your opposed to all special interest contributions.....you just happen to choose this decision to draw the line and vent. Fairness would eliminate all contributions or let everybody play. The court was right on more than just Constitutional grounds.
