I don't think people relize what a big deal this is, As much as anything conservatives have utilized the SUprem Court to facilitate there power grab.
The court has ruled in their favor on Camapign financing.
Basically approving the use of unlited amounts of money by unknown contributors..
Gerrymandering of Congressinal districts. Giving themselves undefeatable seats in the Hiuse of Representatives.
Gutting the Voting Rights Act
Approving Voter ID laws.
Limiting the the use and collection of union dues.
Those are just a few.
Who knows whether these laws will be revered. At least for the moment the jugernaut is stalled.

Yup, the campaign finance laws the SCOTUS approved are disgusting. I am empathetic for Scalia's family and friends but I thank god he's gone. Citizens United was irresponsible and an obviously bad decision.
The GOP is rupturing and their fear-based policies are being dragged into the light. The support for Trump is embarrassing, it's sad that many people support such a disgusting person... he stands for and campaigns on fear and hate.
My guess is people aren't going to put up with the GOP's current obstructionist tactics for much longer and soon the GOP will be a memory. IMO, the way they have approached their job in the Legislative branch is approaching treason.
Now that i have given this some thought I woullld not object to the appointent of a true moderate to act as a swing vote. My heart yearns for the appointment of a liberal equilvalent to the radical judge Roberts, I realize there is never going to be another Earl Warren. What passes as a moderate today would be a radcial conservative in my day. Beleive it or not I am not that concerned about social issues. Finance is the big thing.
I agree.
We need to bring prosperity back to the middle class and eliminate poverty. Close tax loopholes for the wealthy and large corporations. Return jobs to the USA that have been moved overseas or to Mexico.
Other things are important but the financial issues are key. I don't see any candidate as willing to address these issues except for Bernie.
I agree.
