So ironic that Bush signed this McCain piece of crap and then appoints the right justices to defeat it.’

Any comment from Sarah on this one LOL

"This is poisonous to our democracy," said Sen. Charles Schumer (D., N.Y.). Mr. Schumer said the Senate Rules Committee, of which he is chairman, will hold hearings in the next several weeks aimed at crafting legislation to respond to the ruling. He said he hoped to have a law in place in time for congressional elections this November.

Translation: "How dare you unrig the rules we rigged in our favor? Well, we're just gonna re-rig 'em!"

WOW, you mean, like, the Supreme Court actually used the Constitution of the United States correctly?

WOW, wonders never cease.

Next thing, they’ll be admitting that Orly Taitz has a right to find out why 0bama is using the Social Security Number that once belonged to a Connecticut resident.

I’m holding my breath.

The ruling underscored the impact of former President George W. Bush's two appointments to the court.

Still doesn't excuse the fact that GWB violated his oath to uphold the constitution by signing this POS into law. Leaving it to the SC to do his dirty work was a crap shoot; i.e., what if one of the conservatives on the court had died or resigned in the last year? The vote would have been 5-4 to uphold, and we'd have had this garbage for all time. As it is, a lib SC could revisit this and reverse today's ruling at any time in the future.

If the pols really want to reduce the amount of corruption and money spent on elections they should reduce their power and give it back to the people.

The more concentrated the power the more the corruption.

“Mr. Obama, in a statement Thursday, said: “The Supreme Court has given a green light to a new stampede of special interest money in our politics. This ruling gives the special interests and their lobbyists even more power in Washington, while undermining the influence of average Americans who make small contributions to support their preferred candidates.”

Of course more GOVERNMENT POWER is good!

President Barack Obama called the decision a victory for big oil, Wall street and other interests, and said he would work with lawmakers to craft a "forceful response."

Good. Big Oil put me through college. Wall Street has helped me during my unemployment time with my investments. Let Stuttering Barry the Mulatto Queen go off on business.

The ruling underscored the impact of former President George W. Bush's two appointments to the court. Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito joined the five-justice majority in ruling that a central provision of the 2002 McCain-Feingold campaign-finance act violated the First Amendment by restricting corporations from funding political messages in the run-up to elections.

For all the things G.H.W. Bush and Dubya did wrong during their tenures, these may be the the second best acts these guys did (after watching over the liberation of Eastern Europe without a huge bloodbath, and the liberation of Iraq and AFghanistan and the routing of al-Queda).

The correct title for this article is Supreme Court Reverses Limits on Campaign Spending.

FR protocol requires using the correct title to avoid duplication.

Exactly what will the ProgRats in congress propose that won’t be equally restrictive of 1st Amendment rights?

Chuckie Schumer is a commie, so we know where he stands.

Never should have been passed or signed by the President.

Horrible horrible Bill.
