A bit of hypocrisy Chief Justice John Roberts???

[The Rabbi]

Here's my compromise that NO right wingers would support because......well because they're hypocrites.........

Prohibit unions from their donations AND repeal Citizen United......

Any takers???

You Leftwats are still butthurt over Citizens United and you think it's going to be repealed? It will never be repealed because the ruling was based on sound, constitutional principles. The McCain Feingold act violated free speech laws by prohibiting the mentioning of any candidate 60 days before an election. That's unconstitutional, plain and simple.

What I find remarkable is how you Leftists are the ones always at loggerheads with the Bill of Rights, always trying to subvert freedom and advance tyranny in spite of clear constitutional protections.

Now here's where you Leftists are telling lies.

The case did not involve the federal ban on direct contributions from corporations or unions to candidate campaigns or political parties, which remain illegal in races for federal office
Citizens United v. FEC - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

That's right. Citizens United was NOT about monetary contributions by corporations to campaigns contrary to what you liars are claiming. It was about the freedom for ANYONE to promote or denounce a candidate for office at ANY TIME.

No matter how much you Leftists hate and revile freedom, freedom will prevail.

It doesnt matter. Obama said in the SOTU that CU allowed corporations to buy elections. It's writ now.

You're talking about the national union. BUt there are many police unions.

And therein lies the problem. I been a long time message board member on a cop forum and very few are liberal, none of the old timers. They do not support the Democrats for the most part but that's where a chunk of their dues go. It should be illegal. In non union businesses it would be. Could you imagine the outcry if the company made them pay to work there and gave it to Republican candidates? Democrats are crooks.

there is no freedom when corporations can control our govt. through monetary influence...
The Founding Fathers knew this, and made corporations unable to do so...until the GOP changed it in the 1880's...

 

[nat4900]

Police unions support Democrats most of the time. Another fail post.

ONLY on gun control, nitwit.....There's a lesson there for all you rednecks.

Like most Leftists, you have no idea what McCain-Feingold did. It wasn't just corporations or unions, but every grass roots, shoe string budget advocacy group was disallowed from mentioning a candidate or their voting record. Try to rephrase it as anything you like, it's censorship and that's why the law was overturned and McCain lost the election like he deserved.

Although the legislation is known as "McCain–Feingold", the Senate version is not the bill that became law. Instead, the companion legislation, H.R. 2356—introduced by Rep. Chris Shays (R-CT), is the version that became law. Shays–Meehan was originally introduced as H.R. 380

Did other repubs lose also, or is it an excuse for McCain the mad man's campaign with and unknown air head VP pick?

 

[nat4900]

WRONG....your knowledge of law is about the same that you have of reasoning.....

Roberts has now set a PRECEDENT in limiting campaign contributions...Any future challenge to Citizen United will now have support from this latest Roberts' decision.

[nat4900]

My fellow progressives, (never mind the clueless right wingers) this latest decision by Roberts is actually GREAT NEWS regarding future challenges to Citizen United......Now the argument will very simply be:

"Justices, how can you allow campaign contributions for SOME elected officials and deby that same "right" for others who are also in need of such contributions to get elected?"

The precedent has been set....not by one of the "liberal" supremes, but by the conservative Chief Justice.
