The Montana Supreme Court in an attempt to get around the holding of Citizens United, took SCOTUS’s statement that independent spending cannot corrupt and pointed to evidence that such spending has in fact corrupted in Montana. When the state of Montana loses this battle, and it will, they will have forced the U.S. Supreme Court into making it abundantly clear to all who are listening that they are uninterested and actively hostile toward state anti-corruption laws. It will be impossible to ignore the meaning behind the Supreme Court's ruling which is that all they are really interested in is that the wealthy and the corporations get to use their overwhelming, unequitable, and unfair percentage of the wealth to control elections.
Will anyone be listening? Can that government be saved, the one that is of the people, by the people, for the people and in real danger of perishing from the earth?
