Hearing about this was an extra special moment, as if someone had just announced zombies were real and coming to eat us on the news-- it just didn't seem possible.
As someone else commented (Panzner? Shedlock? Kunstler?) this is NOT a "freedom of speech" thing-- because MONEY IS NOT SPEECH and CORPORATIONS ARE NOT PEOPLE! It should be pretty simple to realize these basic facts, so if they chose to deny reality, then I agree something STINKS.
Now that the corporations own the Supreme Court...? The great experiment that is the checks and balances of our system have officially FAILED.
I'm so pissed off about this.
Money is not speech. Corporations are not people.
It's literally the falling apart of our nation. And will we even know it up front if THEY pay for us not to? OMG this is bad...
