Oofa…thanks for the link to that one Patrick. On my once-in-a-while traipse into TV land the other night at P&M’s house all I saw on the teevee was big pharma ads and left/right skull bashing.
Ain’t it great to be alive in Amurca today?
Mr. Egan writes:
“The court missed the reality of what would happen once the floodgates were opened to the deepest pockets of the biggest players. They turned back a century of fine-tuning the democracy, dating to Teddy Roosevelt’s 1907 curbs, through the Tillman Act, against Gilded Age dominance of elections.”
I’m sorry, but on this point I have to disagree. The majority of the Supreme Court knew PRECISELY what they were doing. Turning back a century of Democracy, you say? Undoing the restrictions imposed on corporations by TR? Well, yea, that was the whole idea. For once they can say “Mission Accomplished” and be correct.
