“Citizens United” decision is legal, and that is the problem; it is another straw of corruption on the camel’s back of the American people. But is it right or good for the US or for the average citizen? There is a higher morality above mere law, including the fetishized Constitution with its flaws. That is the proper context for the conversation, the legality of the decision just shows how corrupt our democratic and legal institutions, starting from the top, are in the service of the powerful and rich. A significant percentage of Americans do not trust the legal system. Look at our prison population, Ferguson, asset seizures, NSA spying, etc. All legal, all bad, IMHO. Awww corporate personhood. I have yet to read an argument in its favor that is not weak handwaving. A person is a legal entity. A corporation is a legal entity. But “legal entity” is not transitive. Persons are counted for census according to the Constitution (and it used to be blacks counted as 3/5) for the purpose of representation including the electoral college. Corporations, unions, married couples and other legal entities or groups of people are not counted in the census, so the Constitution clearly regards governmental representation for individuals, especially voters, but this core delineation has been undermined, once again, in the service of rich and powerful for their own benefit. And money = speech = lies. In an age of obscene media consolidation (Comcast TimeWarner merger means merger of CNN and MSNBC, but we have Fox to balance it, gee why don’t CNN and MSNBC talk about the merger? And Comcast-NBC hiring Chelsea Clinton for $600K makes sense now), which feeds off of division instead of discussion, and profits and ratings over public service, and paid commercials. And hired gun apologists. Detailed voter data and sophisticated software have lifted gerrymandering from art form to science and segregated our citizens’ representation, fewer and fewer competitive races. The Supreme Court just gutted voter rights, disenfranchisement under the fraud of voter fraud is on the rise nationwide. And you expect me sit here and take this? I won’t.
