 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.

Ouch! Well, I earned it.

Hey, I'll put up my reading notes after I'm done in case anyone else wants them. I make those while I sort through cases if they're long (and this one is) because otherwise I can't keep anything straight.
