Just a reminder that Citizen's United allows Foreign Governments to spend millions in US elections

[Quixote1818]

The time to attack this treasonous law is NOW! It needs to go down after this!

1. Even if it is via the NRA?

3. I think the NRA did something close to money laundering

The NRA might have been a little too sloppy with their paper trails.

6. I hope we can take them down too.

The GOP and NRA would be glorious.

2. Do you mean by donating to the dark money PACs?

I think that what you say is effectively true. The dark money PACs that say they're for education or whatever. They then go spend all their money on politics and still don't get stopped by the government. They would be a vehicle for this.

4. They should rename it Russian Citizens United

aka Russian mob money

7. just a second reminder..............

that if Merrick Garland were on the supreme court, citizens united would have been overruled by now

8. Didn't President Obama point this out

during one of his State of the Union addresses?

And isn't that when Roberts mouthed something like "No it doesn't"?

Those were the days...

9. I thought it was Alito (that miserable shit),

But you might be right and I'm mis-remembering things...

[thucythucy]

10. You could be right.

My memory isn't all that great and I'm too hot and lazy right now to look it up.

But President Obama was absolutely right. As usual.

11. Alito - here's the video

I stand corrected.

13. Remember that we have Kennedy to that for that

I never understood the fawning over Kennedy. He was always a hyper partisan, and would twist himself into knots if it would benefit the GOP. Siding with us in a few cases, no matter how important those individual cases were, will never override the damage that he and his Republican cohots, have done.
