Can you feel the fear taking hold in the Democrats? They KNOW they are in real danger next year.
By SCOTUS saying that Corporations have the same campaign spending rights as the Unions that extort them, they have set the stage for the Democrat Crony election money to be MATCHED, and it's frightening the hell out of them.
The Union/Democrat party racketeering is the BIG problem.
Getting something like that to rise to the level of a constitutional amendment... rotsa ruck rats. Besides do you want to really make it clear that you think the American people are so stupid as to treat an election as a referendum on how many ads they heard?
Quidado! Don’t let the Marxists anywhere near a Constitutional Convention. Even their call to amend is suspect. They are destroyers not builders or repairmen.
At least the idiots want to go about their stupidity the correct way. Go ahead and try an amendment, fools.
Getting rid of that excess of regulation is one of the best things the Court has ever done ~ roughly on the order of beating back the Nazis in WWII
Anytime a Democrat wants to play by the rules, I grab my wallet.
Senator Merkely didn’t seem to mind campaign money when Obama sent him money from his very deep 2008 pockets to help him get elected.
The only way to control campaign spending is to reduce the importance of government to the point that no one has an incentive to try to buy influence.
I don’t expect any of the the political careerists or careerist wannabes to line up for that one.
Starve the beast.
I have an idea, lets make an amendment for the direct election of Senators rather than by the State party bosses, that will eliminate the money and corruption in the Senate...Oh wait...
I agree.
Repeal the 17th amendment, and let's get rid of 33 of the most expensive elections that occur every two years.
Eliminate the need to finance 100 Senate elections, and you will begin to eliminate the national party fundraising blocs. The House elections will be too many and too often to be supported by national blocs, and the presidential election will be too infrequent to support a national fundraising bloc.

The Democrats are frightened of free speech!
It takes a two-thirds vote of both Houses Of Congress and ratification by 3/4 of the states to enact a constitutional amendment.
This one isn’t going anywhere.
Well, they have not a prayer of getting a Constitutional Amendment passed before next November (if ever).
DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic. Vote out socialists/progressives/RINOS (Republicans Implementing Nuances Of Socialism).
That case was followed last year by Citizens United v Federal Election Commission which opened the way to a surge of campaign spending by corporations, ....Yeah, Citizens United was a STOO-PID™ decision. Saying 'corporations are people', geez how dumb can you get.
After all, what is a 'corporation'? Nothing but a bunch of shareholders who own stock in that corporation. And who are these 'shareholders'? Why they're nothing but a bunch of .... uh .... people.
Hmmm? .... wait a sec?!? ..... Never mind.

District Five in Oregon needs to throw out Merkley. He has not done one thing for the people of Oregon.
