Look upon my work... ye mighty, and despair...
The keening and rending of garments over the Supreme Court's rendering the entire electoral system over to the Corporatist owners of the Government is almost more stunning than the ruling itself.
This Court has gone clear over the edge. Into realms not seen for at least a hundred years, and maybe not since the pre-Civil War court. It's shameful, deeply reactionary, and utterly contrary to the main thrust of American and Human History.
It's easy to reject it.
It's not so easy to know what to do about it.
A modest proposal: start by legislating free political advertising on major mass media. No purchased ads allowed. Then declare unlimited free and equal access to some sort of public access political station in every media market.
The key to to forbid the purchase of political advertising.
And then, impeach these rotten sons-of-financiers and stockbrokers.
