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,

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.


They've been doing it with at least some restrictions. Now, currently,
they've wiped those out. Something needs to get done, but I'm not sure an
amendment is the way. Maybe. It's not easy to do, esp. with the current
climate in DC.
