The Supreme Court has ruled 5 to 4 to eliminate most of the limitations on corporate funding for Federal political campaigns, opening the door to massive corporate influence over elections. While labor unions would also be free to fund ads under the decision, corporations have a huge advantage in resources. Under the phony banner of "free speech", the Court's conservative majority's decision will allow corporations to fund attack ads for political candidates that oppose their corporate interests. Speaking for the minority, Justice Stevens noted that this would place corporations at an extreme advantage in swaying opinion and therefore elections.
So we see once again that the core of conservative philosophy is the "golden rule": He who has the gold, rules.
