McCutcheon v. FEC; now the Koch Brothers can come out of the closet and buy members of Congress, Members of State Legislators and Members of City and County Boards and Councils around our nation with complete immunity. The U.S. Supreme Court has legalized bribery and calumny from any civil or criminal penalty.

Is this about Free Speech or fear of the masses and the desire to establish an oligarchy for the rich and powerful?
I think this is a horrible ruling, but I also think that you guys are making too much of it.
The Koch brothers dumped millions into Romney's campaign. So did Sheldon Adelson and a lot of other rich douchebags.
But they still couldn't get the guy airborne even with a pretty dismal economy.
I also think that after the demise of Brendan Eich, a lot of rich CEO"s are going to think long and hard about where they throw their money if it effects their corporate image.
