Ruling by the Supremes

[Myra Bronstein]

AMY GOODMAN: We begin our show today looking at yesterday’s landmark Supreme Court ruling that will allow corporations to spend unlimited amounts of money to elect and defeat candidates.
...
Well, we need a movement for a constitutional amendment to declare that corporations are not persons entitled to the rights of political expression. And that’s what the President should be calling for at this point, because no legislation is really going to do the trick.

Great show. I like the fact that he's moved past the surreal shock to prescribe the antidote: a constitutional amendment. Which gives us yet another opportunity to observe that Obama is all lip service when it comes to looking out for people. He'll continue to harumph about the horrible decision but not DO anything about it. 'Cause the fact is that aside from rhetoric he's no different from Bush 43.

Well, it still tells us what we need to do about it. Press for a constitutional amendment.
