One the Eve of the Citizens United Decision - Some Train Wreck Responses to a Train Wreck Decision

[scrubthedata]

It's been one year since this terrible injustice from America's top Justices.

Regardless of efforts against it, the Citizen's United ruling is probably here to stay - and voters like you and me will have to relinquish what little power we have to corporations at home and abroad.

I first caught one of these satirical reports about our "national situation" on DU, so yes, there's some overlap, I guess. Sorry about that. But here they are in one place.

2. By the way ...

I wanted to write "on the Eve of the Anniversary" but "Anniversary didn't fit in the title. Sorry if there's confusion. Obviously, this ruling is not happening tomorrow!

3. Is there something you can do?

Thanks, Scrub.

If people are interested, they can support Common Cause's initiative to have Scalia and Thomas recuse themselves from the decision retroactively. Doubtful that it will work, but it might help by raising awareness. I'm shocked by how many people do not realize that this decision takes votes out of the hands of voters and puts them in them in the hands of domestic and foreign corporations.

This is the link to the Common Cause site, for what it's worth:
