Terrible decision. Why on Earth some conservatives think that giving the unbridled purchase of our Democracy, or our Republic, to a small group is utterly beyond me. What, you think they are in this for our values? If so, wake up.

The enemy of your enemy is just not always your friend. If you’ll notice, these are the people that want the Tea Party dead.

Be careful what you wish for.

Just thinking the same thing. The only thing this does is legalize the purchase of our government by those that intend to use it for their own benefit.

“Welcome to the USA, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of...”

Time to dream another dream. This dream is over.

Money is speech, speech is money. Show me how it would be legal to limit the endorsements of the liberal media? And since we can’t do that, how do we fight the Liberal Media?

This is an EXCELLENT ruling and those who oppose it are the very definition of LIBERAL!

I support free speech.

and if someone has a louder voice than me, or more money to pay to transmit their message, God bless them, and may the best ideas win.

If I read this correctly this is a case about an individual who wanted to contribute more than the aggregate amount allowed by law.

Thus this ruling doesn’t affect unions or corporations. Only individuals.

It also doesn’t affect the individual limit to one candidate.

It only disbars the currently set aggregate limit imposed on individuals for an entire campaign cycle.

For example if Joe Blow wanted to contribute $2,500 each to 12 different candidates he was fine but if he wanted to contribute $2,500 to more than 12 candidates then he was breaking the law.

As far as I understand this ruling now permits individuals to contribute $2,500 to as many candidates as they wish.
