Nancy longs for the good old days when unions were allowed sole access to influence elections with hundreds of millions of dollars.
Via Daily Caller:
If Democrats were to take control of the House of Representatives after the November elections, Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said her party would “amend the [U.S.] Constitution” on the “very first day” to overturn the Supreme Court’s “Citizens United” decision.
President Obama said he supports a constitutional amendment to reverse the ruling and keep undisclosed corporate contributions out of elections.
“On the very first day we would have a jobs bill. We would have a jobs bill, much of it would contain what President Obama has in the American Jobs Act. It would be as simple as A-B-C. Make it in America. Build America’s infrastructure. See developed growth from the community. And that means education of our children, the police and fire safety of our neighborhoods, that sense of community and fairness,” Pelosi said during her weekly press briefing Thursday on Capitol Hill.
“We would pass a DISCLOSE Act. ‘I’m Nancy Pelosi, I approve this message’ — but Mr. Big Bucks who put hundreds of millions of dollars into campaigns to get tax breaks for their industry or their heirs, they don’t have to disclose their names. So DISCLOSE: Amend the Constitution to overturn ‘Citizens United.’”
Won't ever get out of the House.
A Constitutional Amendment requires two-thirds majority of both Houses of Congress, then ratification by three-quarters of the states.
As usual, Nancy is FOS.
I think it’s one way she ensures she’s water cooler talk for the batsh1t crazy libs the following week.
Y'know, it may be nothing more than that -- a little strategic opinion dropping for the sake of ego gratification.
You know Nancy Pelosi is somebody who is intent on being the object of attention wherever she goes -- even if she's incognito.
Perceptive observation...
FU Nancy Pelosi you want a bloody fight in the streets try & wipe your ugly ass with the 1st Amendment see what it gets you .
