The Supreme Court on Thursday upended and reversed a century's worth of campaign finance law. The court has moved sharply right. Chief Justice John Roberts has mustered five votes for a conservative rule by corporations. It is hard to remember an instance where the justices reached so far to make major constitutional law. It will have immediate political consequences.
Business managers now will be able to spend, at will, Bloomberg-level sums in congressional races across the country and thus control the congress and create a corporate government. No more government by the people but government by and for the big corporations, banks included.
The Republican gang of five (out of nine) have made law from the bench for and on the beholf of the Republican Party and their corporate giants, not the people.
