Agreed with him entirely. Sad how much of the Supreme Court is hypocritical and fucks over our country for corporate and selfish interests :|

Btw, wasn't speech supposed to be equal among all citizens in the US? If Speech is equal and money is speech, then shouldn't logic dictate that money must be redistributed evenly amongst all the citizens of our nation?

I'll never get why anyone would ever support money influencing speech, especially on this level, unless they themselves are directly involved and benefiting from it (aka the congress people, the lobbyists, the corporate heads, etc)

I'm glad Vermont has passed the first call for a constitutional convention of the states to get money out of politics

I hope even more states follow suit.
