Campaign Finance Reform is the biggest crock that American politicians have come up with in several decades. How people could lie to themselves and their constituents and convince them that participating the political process by supporting political parties and paying for political advertisements is "corruption" is staggering.
How the formerly allegedly conservative president of the USA could sign a bill totally jeopardizing the intent, spirit and letter of the First Amendment, is mind-boggling.
And how the Supreme Court of the United States, including at least three Justices (sic) appointed by republican presidents,could uphold the law is miraculously evil.
Of course, all the shock would vanish if I adopted the cynical view that the whole system is comprised of a bunch of crooks. Such adoption is close to becoming a reality.
