Yes, yes, everyone knows that in Citizens United v. FEC, the Supreme Court split 5-4, on the same old lines, and decided that the First Amendment mandates that corporations and unions should not have limits on how much money they can use to grease the political wheels in their favor. Lets set aside the First Amendment arguments and discussions for a moment. I just want to shine a light on one of the nation’s biggest douchebags, Mitch McConnell. He said, of the decision:
“For too long, some in this country have been deprived of full participation in the political process,” the Kentucky Republican said. “With today’s monumental decision, the Supreme Court took an important step in the direction of restoring the First Amendment rights of these groups.” (source)
Yes, Mitch. For too long, big corporations have just been locked out of the political process. Its a good thing that the Supreme Court protected their deeply threatened rights.
