A reminder that on Jan. 21, 2010, the Supreme Court, by a 5-4 vote, declared that the First Amendment prohibits the government from restricting independent expenditures for political campaigns by corporations (Citizens United v. FEC).
This decision has led us into becoming an oligarchy where the rich have the voice and we citizens have little, if any. The decision by the Supreme Court, in my view, should have folks from both political parties very upset. Question, is it too late to reverse this issue and become a democracy again? Unfortunately, and again in my view, it’s too late.
