I hope you're right. I'm an optimistic person, but this ruling is pretty
extreme. It's going to take a lot of Congressional action to nullify it, and
I'm not sure Congress is up for the task.


Since this is a court decision it might take a constitutional
amendment to fix it. I haven't read the decision yet but it might say
they have a constitutional right to buy politicians. They have been
doing it right along but now it is sanctioned by the court.


Might as well make bribery legal then, just like all the banana republics.

It could be fixed, but would take a president, congress and senate with
balls and integrity to fix it.
