The DISCLOSE Act is the Democrats big legislative “fix” to pushback against the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision that eliminated a number of campaign finance restrictions on first amendment grounds. It just passed the House this afternoon — even with 36 Democrats voting against it.
House Republican Leader John Boehner’s already declaring that the legislation will “Shred Our Constitution for Raw, Ugly, Partisan Gain.” Normally, I’d automatically dissmiss such a press release as hyperbole, but this time I’m not so sure. For one thing, the DISCLOSE Act doers this:
A Democratic amendment tucked into campaign finance legislation Wednesday night also drew fire from Republicans and their allies, who contend it gives special treatment to Democrat-allied labor unions. The language in question would exempt from disclosure requirements transfers of cash from dues-funded groups to their affiliates to pay for certain election ads. It was inserted into the bill by Rep. Robert Brady (D-Pa.), chairman of the House Administration Committee and a big union backer.

They just keep sticking it to us.
“They just keep sticking it to us.”
Yea. It’s a b!t@h when you know you’re going to get bent over the table and there’s not a damn thing you can do about it!
November can’t come soon enough!
If you believe anything that happens in November will stop us from getting bent over.. Your crazy
November means nothing to Obama.
Follow your money:
Free Market System Taxpayer —> TARP —> GM/Chrysler (Unions) —> Democrats —> Socialism. Just great system we’ve got working for us.
When there is an unrelenting assault on the first amendment, the second amendment comes into play. When the corrupt lead the remedy is inevitably lead.
Let’s all memorize these wonderful people’s names and locations, so that we never forget them......
If obama or any other President decides to suspend the law, that means ALL laws are suspended....he’s not that stupid....
I am beginning to believe armed rebellion to be the only responsible and viable recourse. When Congress defies the will of the electorate; their employers; and passes TARP, the Stimulus Bill, Healthcare, and working on Cap and Trade and now, this Disclosure, they have fundamentally executed a coup against the Constitution. This bill in particular would be considered contempt of court in any Law and Order episode but I guess there is no provision to fine/incarcerate those members voting for the bill. Our elected representatives have given the middle finger to America and have dared us to do anything about it. The normal election cycles may just be too restrictive and alternative measures necessary.
I know he’s not stupid...he’s intentional. And he doesn’t need to suspend law to continue on his agenda....as we’ve seen over the last 18 months.
Well I gues BO will have some more talking points about the SCOTUS in his next SOU speech after they smak this one down too!
The system is so corrupt that if it took place in business, people would do time. Imagine allowing your purchasing agent to accept payments to steer business to a vendor.
This may have been partisan, I undestand that, but it did not go nearly far enough. If we don't fix this, we will never right this country.
Here is some dipstick from Georgia on youtube, a congress critter (dumocrat) named hank johnson...
