#1 This isn't just a sad day. This is it: they've judicially repealed the first amendment.

#2 From a purely political POV, however, this helps us as it's sure to destroy the Democratic party. Those "independent" activist groups that now can get and spend the big money are likely to align wacko-left, ensuring the Dems' marginality perhaps for a generation.

#3 From a purely political POV, however, this helps us as it's sure to destroy the Democratic party. This does nothing with respect to Republicans and Democrats.

The strategies for circumventing the provisions of this bill were probably built right into the bill itself. This bill favors incumbents of whatever sort. Incumbents control actual policy and public funds which makes a whole lot of difference with respect to reelection.

#4 They have repleaded part of the first amendment. Some day they will repeal the rest. I would have never believed the SC would restrict political speech. Incredible.

I don't find it either unexpected or "incredible". The Supremes, especially the Donkey extremes, have been after the 2nd amendment for 30 years, and have already killed the 9th and 10th amendments. All is not lost, however. Go back and re-read the ENTIRE second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence. As soon as enough people are disgruntled enough, things will change. The 'tipping point' is somewhere around twelve or thirteen percent of the active adult population.
