"The Court's blinkered and aphoristic approach to the First Amendment may well promote corporate power at the cost of the individual and collective self-expression the Amendment was meant to serve. It will undoubtedly cripple the ability of ordinary citizens, Congress, and the States to adopt even limited measures to protect against corporate domination of the electoral process. Americans may be forgiven if they do not feel the Court has advanced the cause of self-government." -- Justice Stevens

Our court system is worthless, just like this bastard.

Alito was right for showing his displeasure with Obama. The ruling affirms the first amendment right of citizens that have pooled their rights to create a corporation. The President's hostile views towards the first amendment is just right down scary, and who is allowed to have free speech rights is right down scary.

We have been so lucky to survive as a planet and species as long as we have. This ruling has gone too far. Anything is fair game shrouded in money. But will there be world left after this? Money will fight and flow, never-ending! Would we be comfortable if other NATIONS ruled Likewise. Hey maybe it is not so bad??/!! Please read the Book, 1984! Is has arrived. Human voices please speak. Search on YouTube for Corporations aren't People. There is a viral video contest.

Scalia has taken strong measures to reduce our rights -- we have lost several in opinions he has drafted. Thomas is just as bad, but he is often too reactionary even for the other conservatives

[LarcheOsborne]

There are exactly three Democrats on the Supreme Court. They lack the numbers to take away freedoms even if they wanted to, which they don't. A majority formed from a total of nine justices are required. The Democrats and one liberal Republican (Stevens) support more freedom for Americans. Unfortunately, they are consistently out voted by the 5 conservative justices, two of whom (Scalia and Thomas) publicly state that Americans have too many rights (continued)

If you are a Personfor the American Way, then you should nto be bashign Alito, but the liberal Dems on the court who take away our freedoms almost daily. i see Dems do this same stuff, but 10 times worse and 10 times more deceptive

[dezznutz1001]

So what, we dont even own America even more! Maybe we should change or politcking style to that of the Chinese!!! LOL

Just means you'll have to research a candidate & not base your decision on media spin.

... money must be considered "speech" during campaigns.

Having done such a horrible job in protecting the public interest with respect to broadcast licensing, the FEC will now supposedly be our last defense against foreign influence in elections.

The argument by the proponents depends on that ridiculous premise.
