Supreme Court throws democracy to the dogs

Letter to AJC 6-25-2012

 In rendering it's decision against Montana's century old anti-corruption law to limit political donations by big business, the US Supreme Court has shown its true partisan color and ruled as a puppet of the republican mindset. This case  had popular support for Montana, yet the US Supreme Court defended its Citizens United decision against the wishes of the majority of the country. Polls show that most people (80%) are sickened by the huge sums of money being spent by Super Pacs and funded by extremely wealthy individuals.

The republican long range plan is working.  With their acquisition of the majority in the Supreme Court, and the House in Congress, they can wreak havoc on reasonable and rational plans for advancement of the country.  No matter how  much the people want something, if it doesn't conform to the republican ideology  it gets struck down.  What hypocrisy! On the one hand conservatives argue against  Federal Government interference  in States rights, but when it suits their ideology they are willing to smack down States who try to retain and protect their own honorable and  ethical laws.
