They get money from cryptoscams now so no companies needed.
The only reason Democraps want to overturn Citizens United is that Republicans have lots of rich, wealthy people to help them win elections.
Before Citizens United, only Democraps had wealthy dark money pouring into their evil coffers...they want to go BACK to that way of life.
They KNOW they can’t keep cheating on election day...sooner or later someone is going to actually give a damn and get the proof!!
Hilarious! Unions appear to exempt from this amendment.
Does anyone else besides me, each time they read another story like this, think to themselves, “just shoot the bastards!”
I’d hate to be the only “that guy.”
Unless, of course, it's really REALLY BIG wealth. Like Soros, and his pals..
A constitutional amendment? Seriously???
How many states do they need for approval, and why in HELL would the Red States (Republicans) vote for something that only the Blue states (democrats) want?
The numbers are not in their favor.
Like all proposed Amendments, it ‘only’ takes 2/3rds of each house and 3/4ths of state legislatures to become part of the Constitution. Don’t think the dems have those kinds of votes to get it out of Congress. So it’s just virtue signaling.
Not breaking news, not important news.
The process to amend the Constitution is intentionally very complex and difficult to complete. We're currently in something like year 50 of the Equal Rights Amendment process.
The country needs to go back to the original method of paying to run the federal government which was having rich people uniquely support it.
More specifically, consider that Thomas Jefferson had noted that the rich alone paid taxes (tariffs) to run the federal government.
“The rich alone use imported articles, and on these alone the whole taxes of the General Government are levied [emphasis added]. … Our revenues liberated by the discharge of the public debt, and its surplus applied to canals, roads, schools, etc., the farmer will see his government supported, his children educated, and the face of his country made a paradise by the contributions of the rich alone, without his being called on to spend a cent from his earnings.” —Thomas Jefferson to Thaddeus Kosciusko, 1811.
Rich taxpayers would appropriately have the job of policing the feds for constitutionally justifiable federal spending.
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
“If the tax be not proposed for the common defence, or general welfare, but for other objects, wholly extraneous, (as for instance, for propagating Mahometanism among the Turks, or giving aids and subsidies to a foreign nation, to build palaces for its kings, or erect monuments to its heroes,) it would be wholly indefensible upon constitutional principles [emphases added].” — Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2 (1833).
Pelosi: "We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it." (non-FR; 6 sec.)
“Cherish, therefore, the spirit of our people, and keep alive their attention. If once they become inattentive to the public affairs, you and I, and Congress and Assemblies, judges and governors, shall all become wolves [emphasis added]. It seems to be the law of our general nature.” - Thomas Jefferson (Letter to Edward Carrington January 16, 1787)
In the meanwhile, the MAGA-controlled House desperately needs to introduce a resolution for Congress to propose an amendment to the Constitution to the states that is limited strictly to repealing the 16th (direct taxes) and 17th Amendments (popular voting for federal senators) (16&17A), little or ideally no discussion required for such an amendment imo.
Repealing 16&17A would effectively "secede" ALL the states from the unconstitutionally big federal government imo.
Although such a resolution is doomed with gridlocked Congress (where are the states?), what patriots initially get out of a repeal 16&17A resolution is seeing more masks fall off remaining RINO lawmakers who vote against resolution that patriots can primary in 2024.
Not constitutional but when has that stopped Democrats.
YAY! Let’s have a Constitutional Convention. Bout time.
So the Government would fund all acceptable candidates with criteria determined by the law, which is written by politicians who have a vested interest in making that criteria one sided...... therefore all Government employees, legislators, judges, law enforcement personnel would be of the same mind set. No one could challenge such a law because the Judges would have been determine to have this one mind set as the criteria for office by the law. No bias there! MMMM, what could go wrong?
Going nowhere.
In a representative government, outsiders should not be able to influence other state elections.
DOA.
Outlaw public unions, and then let’s see how much honest, equitable influence the Rat’s really have.
Because there’s not nearly enough money in politics or in a lifetime of feeding at the Government Trough, already?
*SPIT*
lol
about as much chance of passing as one to slap the hell out of Nancy Pelosi and dig up RBG and piss on her corpse
So, they want to get rid of the Soros funding?
They had 2 years to propose this crap.
