Make that 998. I will gladly marching on the Mall. I will take the risk of going to jail.
It isn't this one ruling [as horrid as it is] which upsets me so. This ruling is the latest of many changing the balance of power between the elected and the electorate.
I am no legal or political mind by any means. I am nothing more than a private citizen who always thought the glory of this great nation is that the right to express my opinions without fear of government retribution. As long as I did not threaten anyone, I could say just about anything. Now I am told by the Supreme Court if I try express my views through the broadcast media (TV Advertising) before an election, I could be imprisioned.
This discussion has made me curious. Has there ever been a documented case of corruption on the Supreme Court? i.e. an opinion for a price? I am in no way inferring this happened here. I now find myself interested in the history of the court.
