Well my friends looks like your next candidates will be bought and paid for by giant corporations (not like they weren't already but at least they had to work at it to keep it under the table)... now that's true capitalism at its best. It will no longer be the President of the United States; it will be the President of Pfizer (or your favorite corporation) giving the state of the union address. My how we digress - this is exactly what caused the great depression of 29. Brilliant. Whooooosh - (sound of US going down the tubes faster than we already were!)

Supreme Court Rejects Campaign Spending Limits

The Supreme Court has ruled that corporations may spend
freely to support or oppose candidates for president and
Congress, easing decades-old limits on their participation in
federal campaigns.

The court on Thursday overturned a 20-year-old ruling that
said corporations can be prohibited from using money from
their general treasuries to pay for campaign ads. The
decision almost certainly will also allow labor unions to
participate more freely in campaigns and threatens similar
limits imposed by 24 states.

The justices also struck down part of the landmark
McCain-Feingold campaign finance bill that barred union- and
corporate-paid issue ads in the closing days of election
campaigns.
