The Supreme Court is considering a Republican-led drive, backed by Donald Trump’s administration, to overturn a quarter-century-old decision and erase limits on how much political parties can spend in coordination with candidates for Congress and president.
A day after the justices indicated they would overturn a 90-year-old decision limiting the president’s power to fire independent agency heads, the court is revisiting a 2001 decision that upheld a provision of federal election law that is more than 50 years old.
Democrats are calling on the court to uphold the law.

Jesus Christ it’s hard not to downvote headlines like this out of anger.
They need a new “hate it, but more people should see this” button.

So instead of answering the rhetorical question, you just thought you’d remind me of the horrible world we live in. Cool.
Truly sorry, good person.
Because there was a candidate who ran an inspirational platform against money in politics amongst other populist issues, and he was stomped down twice. Because of this people will feel they have no choice but to spit on anyone that criticizes the DNC and will blame their poor candidates and wasted votes on left purity tests and by falling for propaganda.
Infinite Corruption in Infinite Combinations
Of course, and then any political money benefitting Democratic candidates will be declared antifa terrorism
There was a limit? The spending is already ridiculously out of control. I don’t want to see any more fucking ads.
I agree. Let’s get rid of limits on party spending. Instead, let’s ban it altogether.
Let me guess. They’re using the
bribesdonations are a form of free speech argument?OH NOH!

Because they aren’t interested in serving the country they’re only interested in serving the interests of a few complete assholes with money in this country
