The Supreme Court, in Citizens United, did not make a legal decision. They reflected instead a desire to make members of their class even more oligarchic than they had been. It's not a coincidence that Scalia and Thomas had met secretly with the Koch brothers in Aspen. They were doing their jobs, which was to protect the prerogatives of the super rich. Alioto was of a similar mind. Kennedy, from early in his career, was a corporatist, through and through. He, "never met a (corporation) he didn't like." Roberts was "dancing with them that brought him."

You wouldn't recognize this, Ya Ya, because you believe in that class privilege, that betrayal of democratic principles although you probably imagine that it is something else that motivates you.

I suggest that you read the Stevens dissent in that case. I realize there's not much of a chance, but it might actually do you some good..
