Excellent story.
We need to remove money, lobbying, and corporate speech from our politics and this ruling undermines that goal.
Lawrence Lessig, also nails it

I don't agree that these justices are all bad they have made some good decisions. However, this one I think is a little far reaching. They have a point that government was making too much decisions and descretions on the law. I believe the solution is to have only debates toward the end of an election and no TV ads. This won't happen I don't believe because both Democrat and Republicas like their power too much. However, this would save money and keep the decisions based on debates and arguments rather than advertising. I agree that there may be Republican influence here. However, to blame conservatives is wrong. I am conservative and I don't agree with this move. I believe good debating like in this forum is a good thing. Let's not lump people into groups unless it is justified. I belong to a social network that is conservative at www.heywhateversocial.info and we don't go after power but really try to support others. Plus, it invites healthy debate
It's easy-any corporate entity that endangers US interests or US soldiers by it's conduct should be removed from the pool of organizations able to bid on gov't contracts.
funny thing is that there are individuals with the level of money that corporations have that do the same thing...are those people to be silenced also? Is it just a money thing? Corporations will send lobbyists to washington no matter who is in office and achieve the same desired effect. Be careful how you look at the first amendment because as soon as you start restricting someone else's free speech, yours is just around the corner.
