Subject: RE: BS: Supreme Court Kills Democratic Party...
The initial post by Bobert is extremely biased.

The ruling by the Supreme Court gives not only business but unions and non-profits more power to spend freely in federal elections.

In the majority 5-4 decision, Justice Kennedy wrote, "When government seeks to use its full power, including the criminal law to command where a person may get his or her information or what distrusted source he or she may not hear, it uses censorship to control thought."
"The First Amendment confirms the freedom to think for ourselves."

The United States is supposed to have a "literate, educated" populace, able to think and reason.

Bobert thinks that the electorate is too ignorant to make reasonable choices.
