McCutcheon v. the Federal Election Commission,

I'm pretty sure the decision will be 5 extremist-anti-democratic-anti-human-American Repug assholes to 4 in favor on unlimited spending to buy politicians

Why Limit Political Donations?

October 6, 2013This week, the Supreme Court is scheduled to hear arguments in McCutcheon v. the Federal Election Commission (http://www.scotusblog.com/case-files/cases/mccutcheon-v-federal-election-commission/), a case that challenges limits on individual contributions made directly to political candidates. It would expand on the 2010 Citizens United ruling (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/22/us/politics/22scotus.html?pagewanted=all) that allows unlimited spending by corporations.
Instead of this piecemeal approach, would it make more sense to just get rid of all limits on political spending, as Senator Mitch McConnell has suggested (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/10/03/mitch-mcconnell-supreme-court_n_4037577.html)?

I'd be perfectly fine with getting rid of the limits, so long as we eliminated anonymous contributions and if you give over a certain amount or were responsible for over a certain % of the PAC's budget, then your name (or the company's name) has to go on the Political Ad as well.

Kennedy with the majority decision in C-U! what a pile of acrobatically twisted bullshit.

A safe bet would be SCROTUS removing all limits on campaign contributions, aka buying into qui pro quo corruption.

Klown Kennedy:

"With the advent of the Internet, prompt disclosure of
expenditures can provide shareholders and citizens with
the information needed to hold corporations and elected
officials accountable for their positions and supporters.
Shareholders can determine whether their corporation's
political speech advances the corporation's interest in
making profits, and citizens can see whether elected officials are 'in the pocket' of so-called moneyed interests."

Holy shit :lol
