Response to “Bernie Sanders Files A New Constitutional Amendment to Overturn Citizens United”
By A. Shaw
Bernie Sanders, unlike the rotten majority of judges on the US Supreme Court, believes money is not the US Constitution.
Power corrupts, especially when you buy it.
When democracy is bought and sold, citizens become the mere chattel of the buyer.
The rotten and treacherous majority of judges now sitting on the US Supreme Court held in Citizens United that money is free speech. So, the venal majority argues, a limit on money is also a limit on free speech. And a limit on free speech violates the First Amendment.
So, five out of nine judges conclude, the government of the people, by the people, and for the people is up for sale to the highest bidder.
Bernie Sanders, by constitutional amendment or legislative struggle, fights to restore the U.S. Government to the U.S. people.
The USA is the US people under the Constitution. This the true essence of the USA.
Citizens United turns the USA into US people under the cash flow.
