Jon Stewart calls ‘bullsh*t’ on court’s election rulings: ‘Justice is blind, but only in one eye’

Jon Stewart calls ‘bullsh*t’ on court’s election rulings: ‘Justice is blind, but only in one eye’

.................

According to an Associated Press report, only 646 donors bumped up against the now-defunct legal maximum contribution limit in 2012.

“McCutcheon doesn’t get more people involved,” Stewart said. “It lets those 646 individuals get themselves more involved.”

He contrasted the court’s loosening of campaign contributions with their tightening of voter ID laws and striking down portions of the Voting Rights Act.

“Justice is blind, but only in one eye,” Stewart said.

If ever we need a reason to GOTV and keep both the Senate and WH under Democratic rule, then these egregious decisions during Roberts' tyrannical reign since he became Chief Justice under the illegitimate president Duhbya, are all the reasons anyone not part of the upper 2% would ever need. He needs to be neutered. He, together with his "I got mine, F**K you all" corporate lackeys on SCOTUS has to lose the power of the majority. We can't afford to allow Bader-Ginsberg, Scalia, and Kennedy to be replaced with more Roberts and Scalitos. We just can't.
