Free Speech, Republican Style
From Daily Kos:
"On December 20, 2009, the Chicago Tribune released a report that detailed how the healthcare industry spent upwards of $635 million over the past two years to shape the healthcare bill."
There you go. Six hundred million dollars. How much do you think we are going to see corporations spend on candidates in the future, thanks to five corrupt Republicans on the Supreme Court?
And by the way, guys, keep sending in those $25 and $50 donations to support your views. It will only take about twelve or fifteen million of them to balance out the money from one industry.

Like I said yesterday, grow up, Derek. I had more respect for you when I thought you were only a freshman.
It won't, but the ruling elite for whom the Republicans slavishly work to keep Americans impoverished and subservient recognize money over nations.
From what I have seen, this is only a hypothetical situation and most experts are skeptical. Even politico says so. Can you argue with the decision on Constitutional grounds?
1st Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
Therefore, "the people" have the right to petition for redress - and redress can mean money so "the people" have the right to use unlimited money to exercise free speech.
So... How do We the People stop foreign money from being used or is that not even an issue?
And can you give me your definition of "money", please?
