The Supreme Court's hand were sort of tied. Having previously established "personhood" for artificial constructs of law, including unions (where all this junk law oiginated because of of pressure from Union's through Congress to allow union dues to be spent in support of candidates) the court was trying to level the playing field by extending those "free speech" rights, naturally enough, to any and all articial citizen constructs of law, like corporations, in fact anyone who could write thier name and file the proper papers.
Citizen's United will haunt the electoral process until corrected, and there is no way, repeat no way, that candidates -or incumbents-are going to voluntarily pull away from the teats of the Super Pacs and other campaign funding sources. It is time for the proverbial "clean sweep" in the House and Senate-ALL new representatives and Senators, repeat ALL NEW-nobody left from the old guard establishment.
Only Citrizen's are individually entitled to the Free Speech rights granted under the Constitution; artificial constructs of law are not. What's next? "George Soros Open Society Foundations for President? Waste Management for President" Wait! Why not? A garbage collector would at least have some idea of what "trash" is!!
