The Supreme Court's supreme f***-up

A few months ago the Supreme Court of the United States issued what was probably its most asinine, idiotic and downright troubling decision in a very, very long time. It allowed organizations and individuals to basically raise and distribute unlimited amounts of cash to any and all political causes.

Of course, this has, and will, open the floodgates of special interest money to all political parties and candidates in the future. Campaign reform? Forget about that. The Court has decided, for whatever reasons, that it is in the best interest of the country that powerful, moneyed and very activist individuals and groups be permitted to hold complete and unfettered sway over the political processes of this nation.

The reaction from “the little guy?” Silence, not a peep. The reaction from the nation’s media? Silence, not a peep. The media, in fact, couldn’t have been happier with the decision because the more money injected into the process, the more colorful the process, the more interest from the voters, the higher the ratings.

As for the people? The average Joe has no idea about how his politicians get where they are–he’s got his own problems to deal with. Washington sucks etc. etc. etc.

Want to run for office? Need cash? No problem anymore, thanks the to those terribly intelligent Supremes. It’s all there for the taking. And you count on this: there will be plenty of takers...
