Incidentally, Chuckie Schumer recently called Citizens United the worst SCOTUS decision since Plessy v. Ferguson. Since Plessy was decided in the 1890s, that's really covering a lot of ground. Does Schumer really think, for instance, that the SCOTUS allowing corporate entities to make public comments about political candidates running for office is worse than the SCOTUS upholding President Roosevelt's power to send innocent Japanese Americans to detention camps during WWII (Korematsu case, 1944)? And would Schumer be forced to change that statement when and if the SCOTUS strikes down Obamacare?
Chuck Schumer is one of the worst as I’m sure you already know. As stated above all these people really want is control, they like power over others and they like that they can skirt the very same rules and regs that they want to impose on everyone else. Things like this absurdity are transparent. They somehow convinced the GOP to go along with campaign finance reform that exempted corporations but allowed unions to finance campaigns. And they still lost. It wasn’t until Obama swept them in that they regained control and they thoroughly abused that power, upset longstanding congressional precedent in order to cram down our throats the largest federal power grab since FDRs presidency. And they did it just after an election which was a referendum n that very idea and which saw them lose more seats than they had seen in a generation. So of course they are want to silence critics.
More than that though, it is against the very idea of a free country and a free people that the entities affected by laws and regulations should have no political voice to protest those very rules and regulations. Only a control freak would want a law that allows them to silence their critics, and the fact that the people keep sending men and women like Schumer back to represent them is sad and scary.
