   Oh, goody!

   The SCOTUS was just like Ron Paul is on a couple of issues like dope and war – right, but for the wrong reason.

   Oh, and does the SCOTUS seriously think that resident aliens, and foreign individuals and corporations can’t, or won’t, launder their money before contributing to some candidates Super-PAC?

   I know that 5 of them are stupid and heartless, I just never realized that they were this naive, as well.

     Foreign companies can also launder donations through the Chamber of Commerce.

       Yup, that too!

       In American, we now practice ‘free market’ politics.

   Citizen’s United is like term limits, a money saving cost control to make it cheaper to control elected officials.

   I mean if they tried to restrict foreign corporations, that would be a problem.

   Couldn’t a foreigner just incorporate in the state and start donating away through their corporation? Wasn’t that the whole point of Citizen’s United?

   Shorter Supremes: No, you can’t just give foreign money to candidates. Do we need to write down the Chamber of Commerce’s number for you?

   I think the obvious point is that resident aliens could be the wrong color or political persuasion, contributing to unpatriotic Democratic candidates while resident aliens with the means to incorporate have earned corporate citizenship rights and are also more likely to contribute to self-proclamed patriotically superior Republicans.

   It’s the type of money and where it’s likely headed that makes the difference.
