DK: Supreme Court to decide if Corporations can donate directly to politicians

[Lorax7844]

Why is this flying under the radar? Why is this not on everyone's lips? Why are you guys ignoring this?

If this happens we are so completely fucked.

That this is not on the Front Page of Huffington Post makes me ill. I though Arianna gave a shit, looks like her political team thinks that Obama talking to children is more important.

This is VERY bad news.

3. ??? I thought that this was already status quo...

Corporations purchasing OUR politicians that is. Not being snarky, I despise the notion that the U.S.A. has the best government money can buy but I thought those purchases were s.o.p.. Does this mean that if the SCOTUS says it's OK, even foreign corporations like Halliburton will have their blessing to purchase our government out from under us?
