Here's Your Supreme Court

I just read up on the Supreme Court. Did you know that the constitution states only that there will be one Supreme Court. It doesn't say what it's supposed to do. Maybe that's what the Robert's Court should be doing. Nothing at all. That way they wouldn't screw things up so much. You may have guessed that I'm not a fan of our current court. Actually I would be if they weren't such activists. See right now, they seem to think corporations should have more rights then people. Of course that may be because they actually think that corporations are people. I don't mean the living, breathing sort of course, but people just the same. With the same rights. Except that if they have more money then people, they can exercise more rights, which actually puts a price tag on our rights. So, the rule is, not surprisingly, if you have enough money, you can do pretty much whatever you please. And if you can't, then go complain to the court and they'll fix it. What is it that I don't like about these good folks on the court? They have opened the doors for corporations to fund political attack ads secretly. So even if they aren't in your state and don't even do business in your state, they can still lie about one of your candidates and you won't know who is actually saying it. Does that sound right to you? Me either.
