Why is allowing corporations and people giving millions upon millions of dollars...

[Moral Compass]

9. Logically Flawed

What I love about this decision is that it rests on a series of logical fallacies that any young student of logic could show to be invalid. There's actually an almost mathematical method of logical analysis called 'symbolic logic' that would quickly and efficiently dispose of the ridiculous reasoning in the Citizen's United decision. Once that was done we could then proceed on to a societal discussion of how we could get five justices off the Supreme Court who have revealed themselves to be drooling idiots.

The fallacies: 1) Money is speech; 2) Corporations are people

Therefore limiting the amount of money "people" donate to a campaign is a violation of the 1st amendment...

The reasoning is so bad as to defy belief. Money is not speech. Nor are corporations people.

All of this was a deliberate hit on campaign finance by a very well funded lobby. Corporations have wanted back in the game of political influence since they were expelled from it decades ago. The court realizes that they are completely unaccountable. And, now that they have the five votes, decided to go for it. How do you appeal a decision when you've lost in the Supreme Court? What is the sound of one hand clapping, grasshopper?
