I think Citizens United is not good law and is perverting our elections.

I take it that you are not a fan of Amendment I.

So let me understand the gaggle of you.

The right to free speech as is a basic individual right. i believe that our founders would be thoroughly amazed that we would extend the rights of individuals to corporations, an illegal entity that were prohibited by the British Bubble Act 1720’s and remained in force until its repeal in 1825.

If you had a free press at the time of the founders, free speech was allowed by the group, but none of the group was free of liability of that speech, unlike the situation that we have with Super Pacs today.

Throw a stone and hide your hand, is the way it works now.

It was a split decision of our current Supreme Court, but lord knows they never make any mistakes, right?
