Corportate Funding in Campaigns Looking Golden

On second thought, I think I've decided that Citizens United v. FEC should not be approved by the Supreme Court. The case, if affirmed, would usher in a new era of corporate money into political campaigns.

But it looks like I could be on the losing side here.

SCOTUS Blog:

If supporters of federal curbs on political campaign spending by corporations were counting on Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr., and Justice Samuel A. Alito, Jr., to hesitate to strike down such restrictions, they could take no comfort from the Supreme Court’s 93-minute hearing Wednesday on that historic question. Despite the best efforts of four other Justices to argue for ruling only very narrowly, the strongest impression was that they had not convinced the two members of the Court thought to be still open to that approach. At least the immediate prospect was for a sweeping declaration of independence in politics for companies and advocacy groups formed as corporations.

SCOTUS reports that the court will likely wait until early October to rule.
