Following the Supreme Court decision implicitly granting corporations the right to free speech (by determining that political spending is a kind of speech), a corporation has decided to take what it believes to be “democracy’s next step”: It is running for Congress.

Interesting this is coming from a admittedly liberal company....oh sorry, progressive.

 

It's a reducto ad absurdum argument to prove that conservatives are evil, based on a complete misinterpretation of the Supreme Court decision by people who haven't even read it, much less understood it.

oh hell...now I guess I'd better read the darn thing.

Read it...agree with Justice Stevens 90 page dissent. Now everyone go spend the entire weekend reading the decisions and varying concurring and dissenting opinions, take notes and report back on Monday for a discussion and seminar.
