 How do you guys feel about this decision? Although I haven't read the actual decision yet, I can only imagine how the holding is going to destroy any chance this country has of holding fair elections in the future. I don't really know too much about First Amendment law, but I am outraged that the Supreme Court has forfeited our democracy to uphold such an absurd principle. If anyone ever meets a corporation, please let me know.

I haven't read the decision yet, so in lieu of a legal opinion, I'll stick with link to a blog post by Marc Ambinder entitled The Corporations Already Outspend The Parties.
