Conservatives AND Liberals UNITED????
WTH, is this even possible? And against the Supreme Court no less. Yup near 80% of Americans across all political ideologies are opposed to the latest Supreme Court Decision that opens the door for corporations, labor unions, and other organizations to spend money directly from their general funds to influence campaigns.
Oddly, tho 80% of ALL Americans oppose it, the decision by the court was 5-4, and split exactly along political line, with the conservatives judges favoring it and the more liberal ones opposed.
Senator John Mccain,( who might have been president had he selected a more intelligent running mate), seems quite the prophet on this one. He was one of the original sponsors of the campaign finance law struck down by Court's decision, and he predicted Americans would turn against the Court. McCain told CBS's "Face the Nation" that there would be a "backlash" once awareness grew about "the amounts of union and corporate money that's going to go into political campaigns."
