      I really appreciate that you can stay optimistic at this point in time. Precedent kinda stopped meaning anything to the Supreme Court a while back, Roberts still plays the act of being legitimate but that’s just his ego trying to protect his tarnished legacy as Chief Justice.

      If they don’t take this case and deem it a limitation on free speech I will be fucking shocked. And when they do take it the amount of money that gets thrown at them will be outlandish

          They don’t want to rein in the senile clown, they’re pulling in the same direction. States getting the idea that they can limit corporations is an idea that, I suspect, they will want to quash.

              You’re describing a constitutional crisis and potentially a civil war, and it’s been building since even before Trump launched his campaign.

              I hope that states start standing up to the Supreme Court about this and other issues, i don’t think they will at least for this issue, state governments can be paid off just like feds, and additionally standing up to the Supreme Court will be a huge risk to whichever state tries to do so. Even though we are all aware they are illegitimate, there’s so much loyalty to the process and decorum

              I see what you’re hoping for I just don’t have any faith in any section of the United States governments actually doing anything that brash to stand up for what’s right

                I just don’t have any faith

                Jesus said the faith of a mustard seed can move mountains. That’s more than enough to contact your state rep and be a part of the solution.

                Americans still have power on the state level. That’s why we’re seeing them pass bills ensuring their electoral college votes go to the president that gains the majority of votes.
