John Paul Stevens

Ball point pen on the morning newsprint

Yesterdays 5 to 4 Supreme Court ruling opens the flood gates of cooperate money to influence elections. Justice Stevens contributed 90 pages to the 180 page dissent, saying the majority had committed a grave error in treating corporate speech the same as that of human beings.

I can’t speak to the law, but it seems that cooperations already have extraordinary influence on our political system. Now they seek to have same on our thinking.
