Robert Reich re expected follow-up Supreme Court decision to Citizens United ruling

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251356453

The Supreme Court is on the brink of doubling down on the Citizens United decision's shameful legacy. If the Court sides with the plaintiff in McCutcheon v. FEC and overturns aggregate contribution limits, a single individual could spend as much as $3.6 million on a single election -- enough to buy the attention of the President and every single member of Congress.

with less than 5% being spent for the intended purpose and the rest going to "administrative overhead" and we all know what that means. Too many fat cats are making a packet off gullible conservatives and we all know nobody's as gullible as a conservative.

The Roberts court is not going to derail that gravy train!
