"Stunning...Intellectual Dishonesty"

The fallout continues over the Supreme Court's outrageous decision to allow unlimited corporate political campaign funding. It was the subject of a furious White House push-back in the President's weekly address today. Ruth Marcus has a pointed op/ed about the "intellectual dishonesty" of the majority's legal reasoning. To say this is the most radical mis-reading of the Constitution since the Dred Scott decision in the 1850's is not an exaggeration. The cliche is that elections have consequences, and this is the consequence of three Rethug presidencies (Reagan, Bush I and II) who put the current 5 crackpot "conservatives" on today's Court.
