thanks, I understand your position better, but I still don’t see how we get there as a matter of policy .... the latest SCOTUS decision would have to be overturned AND there would have to be a new law banning all political contributions not directly from individuals.

OR, there would have to be a constitutional amendment.....

All that is required in the latter. The SC could not overturn that because it does not infringe on any person's rights. All it would say is that no candidate for office could accept contribution from anyone not a citizen of the United States.

Will it happen? Not a chance in hell with this corrupt band of bastards in DC. K-Street is the major industry in DC and it would be put out of business in a heartbeat if that happened, and they won't allow it.
