The Supreme Court campaign finance ruling last Thursday means corporations can spend freely on political ads leading up to elections. The Thursday decision invalidates portions of the 2002 McCain-Feingold campaign-finance reform law that sought to limit corporate influence. If you want to understand whether this decision was a positive development for everyday Americans, you need only look to the immediate reaction of those on the far Left -- elitists that want to speech to be controlled by government bureaucrats.

If you want to understand what was at stake in the Court's decision, watch the following 5 minute video produced by the CATO Institute.

Wow. So, if the Supreme Court hadn't ruled against laws that have been in place for - what, 70 years? - we'd be at grave risk of the government banning books, newspapers, toys, and the First Amendment. Even though no such thing has been done for 70 years. The Supreme Court acted just in time. I'm going to stockpile my bunker anyway.

Founder's Quote of the Week

"I consider the foundation of the Constitution as laid on this ground that 'all powers not delegated to the United States, by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states or to the people.' To take a single step beyond the boundaries thus specially drawn around the powers of Congress, is to take possession of a boundless field of power, not longer susceptible of any definition." --Thomas Jefferson, Opinion on the Constitutionality of a National Bank, 1791
