High court sold out political system
President Lincoln characterized the epic battle of Gettysburg as a struggle to preserve government of the people, by the people, for the people.
The Supreme Court's decision to allow unlimited corporate money to further pollute the political process has placed that novel concept on life support.
Did the court consider that many corporations are multinational and are controlled or heavily influenced by foreign interests?
Government will now belong to the highest bidder.
