re: #410 Aceofwhat?

It’s probably me.

Do you remember the “millionaire’s exception” in McCain-Feingold?

i was trying to summarize it sardonically, because i can’t think of any other way to summarize it;)

People can get enough money that they start to have the ability to exhibit sinister force on people, it’s true. We keep the government in check because it has the ability to oppress; we also keep big money in check too for that same reason. There will always be a tension between what is appropriate and what is not appropriate when it comes to regulating those with large amounts of money.

When this supreme court decision came out though, there was so much hyperventilating and gnashing of teeth, it was incredible. People need to fucking calm down about things. The ape-shit-going doesn’t help anything.
