When the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a law Wednesday morning that limits Americans' contributions to political candidates, liberals in Washington hyperventilated. Within minutes, far-left Sen. Chuck Schumer of New York fired off a terse press release slapping the five justices, all appointees of Republican presidents, who joined in a majority to open the floodgates to more money in politics. 'This in itself is a small step, but another step on the road to ruination,' said Schumer. 'It could lead to interpretations of the law that would result in the end of any fairness in the political system as we know it.'
