    Money is speech.

    So shut the fuck up, peasants, and let the people with money talk.

      Bribery is just argument by other means.

      If money is speech for the rich then violence should be speech for the poor.

    Sure… I mean this already is happening. Let’s all try to act like super pacts have been completely independent all this time. Maybe two justices will have a stroke and flip citizens United.

    I’m sure this Supreme Court will take all sides of the argument into consideration, make an informed and responsible decision, and relay the reasons for their decision to the Americans whom they serve.

    Right?
