Mr. Johnston is a radical leftard and apparatchik of the Deep State. The Deep State's goal with Donald J. Trump since he embarked down the escalator on his road to the WH has been to run him out of office and destroy him so much that no one outside the establishment will ever even think of running for office again and the common people, the Trump base becomes resigned to subjugation.
Donald Trump and the other 2000+ billionaires ARE the deep state. He's the classic crony-capitalist who found a way to cut out the middle man (and woman)
If you believe the Clintons are criminals, (I do) you have to believe the same about Trump, AND they are all beneficiaries of the deep state.
If you're against the 'Deep State', you MUST want the Citizens United decision overturned. Is that correct?
Absolutely, I want Citizens United overturned; in my mind it is the worst SCOTUS decision since Plessy v Ferguson in 1896. If there is one common denominator to America's many problems, it is an excess of private money in public politics.
You can certainly look to repeal or edit the First Amendment, but you'll need a constitutional amendment to do that.
But a lot of people who object to corporate money in campaigns really have no objection to money from corporations like CBS or the New York Times trying to rig the votes. Would you be for corporate owned network news being forced into political neutrality?
I believe your premise is flawed if you equate money with speech.
Money is a megaphone not an opinion.
#MoneyOutVotersIn, because Democracy Is For People (not corporations).
"Even before its disastrous 2010 ruling in
Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, the U.S. Supreme Court had already developed a flawed reading of the First Amendment that struck down reforms designed to prevent corruption and to ensure that the voices of the powerful did not drown out 'We the People' in the halls of our democratic institutions.
"Although the extraordinary threat of unlimited corporate money in elections is a new expansion of the doctrine that 'money is speech', decisions of the Court since the Watergate era have enabled the richest one percent of society to buy outsized influence in our government."
Why do you believe billionaires need more political influence?
