Corporate Speak Supreme Court Sytle

At the risk of beating a dead horse, was there ever any doubt which way Justices Scalia, Alito, Thomas and Roberts would vote on the question: Can corporations spend as much as they want trying to elect government officials who will be indebted to them?

Is there any surprise they would wrap themselves in the flag of the First Amendment, saying money is speach and the Constitution forbids the Congress from passing laws abridging the right of free speach?

We must always bow in the direction of those bewigged eighteen century masters who would be thoroughly appaled at the notion of their descendants treating their makeshift document as some sort of holy writ.

So now we have James Madison, Thomas Jefferson,et al, who never heard an amplified voice, saw a television screen, not to mention video streaming, email or text messaging, or lived with advertizing agencies, marketers or multinational corporations, being cited as the authors of the ruling that corporations are no different from individuals when it comes to the court's desire to protect free speach.

Of course, it would have nothing to do with the desire of those moneyed interests to be sure their voice is heard over that of the hoi polloi.

The court wants to be sure we continue to have the best government money can buy, all three branches.
