1. They will not get fired, they know that
I think we need an election reform bill that blocks ALL contributions from wall street or multi National corps to politicians

2. The problem is that the Suprem Court keeps ruling that that sort of provision
Edited on Sat Oct-04-08 05:51 PM by truedelphi
Is unconstitutional - that money contributed to a candidate is a form of Free Speech, so they won't let the legislation stand.

It really sucks and I don't quite know what to do about it.

3. Change the supreme court to 12 men tried and true
with the speaker of the house casting any tie breaking vote.

4. 12 PEOPLE tried and true would probably go over better around here.
