TYT: Are You Rich And Powerful? Then This Is Your Judge



*After Wednesday's execrable decision in McCutcheon v. Federal Election Commission, we are likely to hear more bashing of the Court's 2009 decision in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission. But McCutcheon's roots lie much deeper than Citizens United, in these words from the Court's first major campaign-finance decision, Buckley v. Valeo (1976)...Clarence Thomas provided the fifth vote for McCutcheon, but wrote separately to suggest that both base and aggregate limits are unconstitutional...* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

Doesn't he sit during Supreme Court sessions and say nothing? One would think he'd ask a question or two using his jurisprudence intellect, or maybe waxing philosophical about a case, but I've read that he says nothing.

He just sits quietly throughout the proceedings then votes the way Scalia votes.

That needs to campained on. If the dems can win the house and keep the senate, impeachment of this assclown and impeachment of Scalia. They are guilty of accepting bribes.
