wait til next year when SCOTUS declares no limits on campaign financing

Things will really be bad.
After the RW activist court says corporations can buy as many politicians as they can afford, you can bet any chance a worker ever had will be gone.
This concerns the case that the SCOTUS will here starting Sept. 9th that may serve to overturn any current campaign finance laws and rulings.

The court’s new order is also deeply troubling procedurally. The question of overruling Austin was so much not a part of the Hillary Clinton film case that the parties now have to brief it — submit fully researched arguments to the court — for the first time. This is pure judicial overreach.

The feverish pace is also disturbing. The court has ordered that the arguments take place even before the new term starts. The parties, and interested citizens who want to submit friend-of-the-court briefs, will have only a short time to parse enormously complicated issues.

The most troubling part of the court’s action is the brave new world of politics it could usher in. Auto companies that receive multibillion-dollar bailouts could spend vast sums to re-elect the same officials who hand them the money. If Exxon Mobil or Wal-Mart wants something from a member of Congress, it could threaten to spend as much as it takes to defeat him or her in the next election.

I have no doubt that whatever health care laws are passed they will be reviewed immediately by SCOTUS also

You have no doubt of things you fear, not know.

No, just thought I would post a thread about what will be one of the more extra-ordinary grabs at power that the right wing ever attempted. A pure political move by the right wing SCOTUS.
While HC is the big story now, this may have huge consequences also.
As for the other, I have no doubt that there will be an immediate challenge to any HC bill funded by the right. Tey will try to tie it up for years.

What is likely is the continued consolidation of the right-wing duopoly, most evident in the erosion of civil liberties and the war on terrorism. Somewhere along the line, America lost its political freedom without even realizing it. The last meaningful opposition to the duopoly was perhaps Ross Perot's presidential candidacy in 1992. His presence in the presidential debates and his subsequent garnering of almost twenty percent of the vote -- in spite of dropping out of the race and then reentering it -- may be the most under appreciated event in recent American political history. Perot was no social activist liberal, but he showed what an open political process might achieve. Afterward, the duopoly regrouped and created a rigged, 'bi-partisan,' corporate-sponsored debate commission dedicated to making sure that no third party candidate would ever again enjoy such exposure to the voters. The coming darkness is the eclipse of American political freedom and the unchecked reign of a venal, arrogant, and ignorant ruling class.

I think we've arrived? :(
