Mitch McConnell Will Ask Supreme Court To Scrap Campaign Contribution Limits Entirely

8. Could it be that it would be better to remove all so called "restrictions,"

now that there are already no actual restrictions upon how much extremely wealthy people can donate to politicians?

It could be that the vestigial appearance of vestigial restrictions provides a certain cover of legitimacy to elections that keeps the people from finally accepting the true depths to which we have fallen.

If I thought that, at present, there were actually any true and meaningful restrictions on how much money any wealthy person can cause to flow into the political process, I might feel different about this.

I take great heart from the fact that so many people are applying for ACA health insurance, in spite of years and billions of money devoted to making people fear and despise ACA. Perhaps if the bald reality of the role of money in our elections would just all hang out for all to see, people might wake up. I think it's possible that what's happening with ACA is a whisper of a suggestion that people are not as asleep as we have assumed.
