VIENNA -- An international human rights organization has criticized a U.S. Supreme Court ruling about election spending in America. The criticism comes from a senior official of the 56-nation Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.

The head of its office that monitors democratic practices says the ruling effectively lifting limits on election spending by corporations and unions "threatens to further marginalize candidates without strong financial backing or extensive personal resources."...

As if they were entitled to criticize, or have an opinion, and as if we care.

[ConservativeMind]

You are exactly right.

[rsobin]

Further confirmation this is a good ruling.

[skeeter]

Damn right they’re angry - international interests have recently finally managed to influence US national elections with illegal foreign money & the SCOTUS goes and ruins everything by giving US concerns the same right.

WHO CARES?? “I can’t HEAR you.”

[the Real fifi]

No doubt another Soros operation.LOL

[ConorMacNessa]

SCOTUS at least preserved some of the First Amendment. I get the willies thinking that only five of them voted to uphold it.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

The absolute gall these Euroweenies have to criticize our Supreme Court! That’s the problem with this One-World Government idea.
We’d better hope that 0 will not put on the kneepads.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

I doubt that John Roberts will lose any sleep over what this bunch thinks about the decision...

[B Knotts]

Who cares what a bunch of fascists and commies thinks?

[freekitty]

None of their business.

Newsflash: The United States is a member of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, and as such, helps pay for all this.

[ColdOne]

Boy you know you hit a nerve when you hear all these people getting so upset.......:)

[chuck_the_tv_out]

What do you think?

[La Lydia]

That’s what I thought.

A one finger salute to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
Too bad we taxpayers are footing the bill for these A-holes.

To the "International Rights Idiots"

Of course the left hates this ruling. It destroys their advantage in unresticted soft money electioneering. Now advantage they have with acorn, NGO and action committee billions will be offset by those with big money on the other side.
